This report summarizes the results of a two-year water quality monitoring project to document the effects of the construction of the Highway 1 bypass on the water quality of Crane (Crains) Creek and the Little River. Automated monitoring equipment were installed upstream and downstream of the highway corridor on both Crane Creek and the Little River. For Crane Creek, discharge was monitored and samples of creek water were collected on a flow-proportional basis throughout the project, while for the Little River samples were collected every 6-8 hours during the project. A recording raingage was also maintained for most of the study at Crane Creek and in-situ measurements of temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and pH were made at least monthly. |
