Description A receiving water study was performed in the Joe Creek estuary in order to address water quality concerns related to the proposed expansion of the Pacific Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant. Lower Joe Creek is a strongly stratified lagoon-like estuarine system with a freshwater lens overlying a saline water mass whose circulation is restricted by a shallow sill at the mouth of the estuary. Parameters that were monitored include: flow, velocity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, conductivity, salinity, 5-day biological oxygen demand (BOD5), ammonia, total suspended solids, and fecal coliform bacteria.
