Sediment: Fleming Creek - Percent Fines <5.6 mm, McBain&Trush 1999 |
|
Caption: This chart shows cumulative percent substrate less than 5.6 mm for Flemming Creek in 1999. The Garcia EPA TMDL set a target of 30% for fines less than 6.4 mm based on wet sieve analysis, but McBain and Trush (2000) used dry sieve methods. The KRIS IFR staff used a conversion from Shirazi and Seim (1979) to adjust this target for dry sieve methods to 26%. Fines in this sand and small gravel size class that can infiltrate redds were mostly higher than optimal for salmonid egg and alevin survival (Kondolf, 2000). Data are from McBain and Trush (2000). See InfoLinks for more information.
