| Description | Study results from 2010 - 2011 show that the majority of fecal coliform bacteria (FC) loading to Skagit Bay comes from the Skagit River. The Skagit River itself, however, meets Washington State water quality criteria for FC. West Pass contributes the second most FC loads to the bay and does not meet water quality criteria. All other surface water discharges combined contribute approximately 5% of the annual average loading to the bay. Freshwater FC loads showed a direct relationship with marine FC concentrations. Increased precipitation showed an increase in FC concentrations and loading at all but one sampling location. | ||||
