PROJECT WORK AQUATIC RESOURCE MONITORING PRaU'DUllES 



ROCK Cl'LEEK DRAINAGE 



April 11, 1973 



OliJECTLVE : 



To inonitror sclucCed water quality parainecors in Che streams flowLnjj 

 through significant Forest Service land use uctivitins. Data will 

 be used to guide Forest Service land use practices. This infomuicion 

 will be disseminated to other agencies and landowners wlio have interest 

 in the drainage. 

 P URPOSE : . ■ • "■. ■ ■ 



To secure selected water quality data, w(»en possible, two years 

 prior to.dLrin^; and after project work. Data secured will be used to 

 de':ect change, if any, created by project work. Change is deteruiined 

 by comparing baseline data secured prior to project work and data 

 secured above the project work area witli data secured below project 

 work area. Pre-project data will be used by the project administrator 

 to proLvict tlie aquatic resource. 

 METHODS : 



Four major Forest Servici- initiated land use acLi.vities (lOvr.ging, 

 grazing, roadtiig, recrQaCional use) are recognized as having a potential 

 to degrade the quality of the Rock Creek Drainage Aquiitic ■Resource. 

 Mining is also a major land use activity, however, not; initiated by the 

 Forest Service and monLtorii^ the effects of ttiis activity must be a 

 coordinated responsibility of developer. State and Forest Service.
