Description Black Creek is in central Grays Harbor County, in the Washington State Department of Ecology’s (Ecology) Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 22. Black Creek is a tributary to the Wynoochee River, which is a major tributary to the Chehalis River. Black Creek is on the 303(d) list for temperature and has been since 1998. The category 5 listing is the result of data collected in 1990 by Ecology where water temperatures were found to exceed 18?C, the previous Class A standard. This 2010 study will monitor current water temperatures to determine if temperatures in Black Creek meet the Core Summer Salmonid Habitat water quality standard of 16?C.
