Topic	Sediment: SF Garcia - Percent Fines <5.6 mm, McBain&Trush 1999

 

Caption:  This chart shows cumulative percent substrate less than 5.6 mm for the South Fork Garcia in 1999. The Garcia EPA TMDL set a target of 30% for fines <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 much higher than optimal at two sites for salmonid egg and alevin survival (Kondolf, 2000), but more moderate at others. Data are from McBain and Trush (2000). See InfoLinks for more information.
