Squaw Creek Sediment

Contact: Anne Holden

The Squaw Creek TMDL for Sediment was adopted by the Lahontan Water Board in April 2006, and approved by the State Water Board and US EPA in 2007. TMDL numeric target monitoring is scheduled to begin in summer 2009. TMDL target monitoring consists of collecting bioassessment and streambed substrate samples in three locations in the meadow reach of Squaw Creek. Results of the TMDL target monitoring will be posted here as they become available.
