Lower Susquehanna Subbasin. Small Watershed Study: Yellow Breeches Creek. A Bacteriological Assessment, February-November 2006

摘要

The Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) completed a water quality survey in the Yellow Breeches Creek Watershed from February-November 2006 as part of the Year-2 small watershed study in the Lower Susquehanna River Subbasin. The Year-1 study of more than 100 sites throughout the entire Lower Susquehanna Subbasin was conducted from June-November 2005. This study of the Yellow Breeches Creek Watershed was somewhat different from other Year-2 studies conducted by SRBC, as it focused primarly on recreational water quality. Concurrently with this project, SRBC was involved in an Instream Comprehensive Evaluation assessment within the Yellow Breeches Creek Watershed, with a focus on Creek Watershed, with a focus on the impaired stream reaches, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP).
