Climate Change Effects on Stream and River Biological Indicators: A Preliminary Analysis (External Review Draft)
EPA announces the release of the draft document, Climate Change Effects on Stream and River Biological Indicators: A Preliminary Analysis (External Review Draft) in the Aug 10, 2007 Federal Register Notice. [Note: Previous title of draft report, "Preliminary Assessment of Climate Change Effects on Stream and River Biological Indicators", is cited in the FR Notice.] This document is provided for a 30-day public viewing and comment period. Public comments received on the document before Sept 10th will be provided to the external peer reviewers for their consideration. Any comments not received within the requested time period, may not be considered by EPA in the final report.

Impact/Purpose:
This draft report is a preliminary assessment that describes how biological indicators are likely to respond to climate change, how well current sampling schemes may detect climate-driven changes, and how likely it is that these sampling schemes will continue to detect impairment.
