Book Columbia River Integrated Environmental Monitoring Program CRIEMP

Download or read book Columbia River Integrated Environmental Monitoring Program CRIEMP written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this report is to define the current aquatic environmental status within the lower Columbia River from the Hugh Keenleyside Dam to the International Boundary. The Columbia River Integrated Environmental Monitoring Program data is interpreted and evaluated. Modifications to the Program's study design, appropriate for long-term monitoring, are also proposed. The integrated sampling effort evaluated water and sediment quality, as well as a number of in situ biological indicators of environmental conditions. The survey results will provide important insights into environmental conditions within the lower Columbia River.

Book Ecological Condition of the Columbia River Estuary

Download or read book Ecological Condition of the Columbia River Estuary written by Gretchen Ann Hayslip and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Columbia River estuary is a unique and important ecological resource. EPA's National Estuary Program (NEP) was established by Congress in 1987 in Clean Water Act amendments to improve the quality of estuaries of national significance. The Columbia River estuary is one of 28 estuaries in the NEP. The overall quality of the Columbia River estuary, which forms the border between Washington and Oregon, is described in this report using data collected as part of the Western Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP). EMAP was initiated by EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) to estimate the current status and trends in the condition of nation's ecological resources. EMAP also examines associations between these indicators and natural and human-caused stressors. The coastal component of EMAP's monitoring and assessment tools are used to create an integrated and comprehensive coastal monitoring program of coastal ecosystems. Water column measurements are combined with information about sediment characteristics and chemistry, benthic organisms, and fish to describe the current estuarine condition. Sampling began during the summer of 1999, with small estuaries of the Columbia River. In 2000, sampling continued with the larger Columbia River estuary. The boundary for the Columbia River estuary was head of tidal influence, so there were some freshwater components of this sampling effort. The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology), and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) conducted all field sampling for this project in 1999-2000 with assistance from EPA Region 10 and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). This project was designed to evaluate the overall condition of the Columbia River estuary. For water physical/chemical parameters, 7% of the area of the Columbia River estuary was in fair/poor condition, while nutrient indicators (nitrogen, phosphorus and chlorophyll a) showed a larger percent of the area (31- 46%) in the fair/poor condition category. For sediment indicators, total organic carbon showed none of the areas was in poor condition, but for sediment contaminants approximately 16% of the Columbia River estuarine area was in poor condition. As for biological indicators (chemicals in fish tissue and percent Corbicula), for chemicals in fish tissue, 39% of the area was in fair/poor condition. An even higher percent of the Columbia River estuary (66%) was in poor condition using percent Corbicula, a nonindigenous species, as an indictor. In 2006, we evaluated the ecological condition of the estuaries of Oregon and Washington (Hayslip, et al., 2006). The percent area in fair/poor condition for every indicator we evaluated was higher in the Columbia River estuary. The only exception was for chemicals in fish tissue where we found 47% of the area for estuaries of Oregon and Washington in fair/poor condition and 39% in the Columbia River estuary in fair/poor condition."--Executive summary (page v).

Book 2005 Environmental Status Report

Download or read book 2005 Environmental Status Report written by Columbia River Integrated Environmental Monitoring Program (B.C.) and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides an overview of the changes & improvements in the Columbia River between the Keenleyside Dam and the Canada-United States border since the early 1990s, and updates the public on the health of the river since a previous report from 1994. This latest update relies on the selected environmental indicators of water flow, water quality, sediment quality, biological productivity, and fish to reflect on the current status of the river. Indicators are compared to accepted environmental guidelines & scientific criteria. Finally, emerging issues & challenges and future environmental initiatives are outlined.
