| Description | This study was the second phase of an investigation of high summer bacteria concentrations in regional streams. The Department of Ecology measured bacteria in water, suspended sediments, and streambed sediments in four streams flowing into South Puget Sound during summer baseflow conditions. The study found that, while sites with high bacteria levels in the water also had high levels in the sediment, bacteria levels in both the bottom and suspended sediment did not appear to be higher in warmer summer months nor increase as the summer progressed. Bacteria attached to suspended sediment accounted for 17-34% of the total bacteria in each stream. |
