Total Maximum Daily Load Project for Lower Rapid Creek

The purpose of this project was to establish a database that contained results from actual field samples that could be used to develop total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for the Lower Rapid Creek Watershed. The collected data was compared to South Dakota Surface Water Quality Standards (SDSWQS) to determine if Lower Rapid Creek met the physical, chemical, and biological parameters set forth in the SDSWQS. Tables 1 through 8 in Appendix I list the parameters that were monitored, the sample results obtained for those parameters, and the SDSWQS used to determine if violations were detected at any of the eight representative sample sites. Any violation that was detected was then evaluated to determine the source(s) of the pollutant or contaminant.Air Force Inst of Tech Wright-Patterson AFB OH is the author of 'Total Maximum Daily Load Project for Lower Rapid Creek', published 2000 under ISBN 9781423528296 and ISBN 1423528298.
