Topic	Sediment: Mill Creek - Percent Fines <5.6 mm, McBain&Trush 1999

 

Caption:  This chart shows cumulative percent substrate <5.6 mm for Mill Creek in 1999 as measured by McBain and Trush (2000), using dry sieve methods. The Garcia EPA TMDL set a target of 30% for fines <6.4 mm based on wet sieve analysis and the KRIS IFR staff has used conversion from Shirazi and Seim (1979) to adjust this target for dry sieve methods to 26% for comparison. This sand and small gravel sized particle category infiltrates redds and can reduce emergence success of fry. Levels were above those expected to cause some increased mortality of eggs and alevin (Kondolf, 2000). See InfoLinks for more information.
