WATER QUALITY STUDY: MIDDLE SNAKE RIVER, IDAHO, 1970
Description:
A water quality study of the Middle Snake River (17060103, 17060101, 17050201) was initiated in July 1968 to gather data in support of Department of the interior testimony presented before the Federal Power Commission license application hearings on High Mountain Sheep Dam. Unusually heavy rainfall during August 1968 required a supplemental field survey in August 1969. The follow-up survey was further justified by Secretary Hickels request for a moratorium on project construction in the Snake during which more studies were to be undertaken. This report includes the data from the above mentioned surveys as well as data from the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration Pollution Surveillance Branch, Northwest Regional Office, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries.
