Description:

This survey was conducted to determine the point source impact of treatment sewage discharged from the New Meadows Wastewater Treatment lagoons on the Little Salmon River (17060210). Water quality data was collected semiannually from June 1970 to May 1975. Some of this data is used in this report. The findings of this survey indicate that there is neglibile impact on the Little Salmon River as a result of the discharge of treated sewage into this waterway. It should be kept in mind that all flow levels including the municipal discharge were at or near the yearly minimum during the survey. Tributary streams and natural phenomenon appear to have a greater influence on the river in the area of study than the New Meadows Lagoon discharge. Wroten, J and B. Clark. 1979.
