nitrogen. Other: Temperature, total suspended solids, volatile 

 suspended solids. Several additional parameters were collected 

 on a seasonal basis including: Hardness, specific conductance, 

 BOD, COD, dissolved oxygen, color, and aquatic macroinvertebrates 

 (kick-net composites). Seasonal algal bioassays have also been 

 conducted. Thirty-day chronic bioassays of lower Clark Fork 

 River water and Stone Container Corporation (Champion Interna- 

 tional) effluent using juvenile rainbow trout and Ceriodaphnia 

 were completed ( see Study 6.2). 



This project will be joined with study number 4.2 during 

 1987-89. 



FUTURE ACTIVITIES : Monthly sampling will continue at the selected 

 stations with the following modifications: The "near St. Regis" 

 station will be replaced by a station at Superior. Two additional 

 stations will be established--at Alberton and above the Flathead 

 River. 



The "routinely analyzed" parameters listed above will con- 

 tinue to be monitored, along with the addition of alkalinity 

 and hardness. The "additional" parameters and stations will 

 no longer be monitored, except macroinvertebrates and periphyton 

 once per year, in August, at all eighteen stations. 



This monitoring program will continue through June, 1987, 

 with funding provided by the 1985 Legislature. An application 

 for funding the 1987-89 monitoring program has been approved 

 by the 1987 Legislature.
