| Abstract | The report presents temperature studies of the Lower Escambia River. Studies of the invertebrate fauna and flora and in situ fish bioassay studies were conducted during September and October 1972. On July 20, 1972, discharges from the Gulf Power steam electric facility flowing into the Escambia River increased surface water temperature to 93F, 100 yards downstream from the point of discharge (POD). This represented an 11F increase over ambient temperatures recorded upstream from the point of discharge. |
