Description Data collected throughout the Little Quilcene River, Tarboo Creek, and Donovan Creek watersheds show that these streams and their tributaries do not meet Washington State’s freshwater quality standards for temperature and bacteria. The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) will investigate the water quality problems in these watersheds and characterize the sources of high temperatures and fecal bacteria.

This Quality Assurance Project Plan outlines how Ecology will investigate these water quality issues. This document includes information about the specific goals of the study and the data collection, analysis, and modeling required to meet these goals.
