Description This report documents the findings of a three-year study on Goosmus Creek (Ferry County) near the U.S./Canada border.

From 2008-2010, the Department of Ecology (Ecology) collected samples from Goosmus Creek three times per year during low-flow periods. Ecology sampled an additional site on Little Goosmus Creek to determine the water quality of a nearby system that was not receiving discharge effluent. Sediment samples were collected at both locations once per year to determine metals concentrations.

This report is a summary of the data collected and includes a data quality evaluation.

Field measurements included temperature, conductivity, pH, and dissolved oxygen. Laboratory analytes in the water samples were turbidity, total and dissolved solids, alkalinity, nutrients, metals and hardness.
