Description A water quality study was conducted in the lower Skagit River basin that included the mainstem downstream of Sedro-Woolley and the North and South Forks near Skagit Bay. This study focused on the effects of point and nonpoint pollutant loading on fecal coliform (FC) bacteria and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the lower Skagit River. Total Maximum Daily Loads are proposed for FC bacteria, Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand, and ammonia to protect the water quality standards for FC bacteria DO.
