<br />into Bear Creek Reservoir. The specific objectives of the project are <br />defined in the following work tasks: <br /> <br />1. Estimate the nutrient loadings from major tributary stream-inflow <br /> <br /> <br />sites into the Bear Creek Reservoir. <br /> <br /> <br />2. Estimate a nutrient .mass balance for the Bear Creek Reservoir and <br /> <br /> <br />assess the potential response of the reservoir to changes in nutrient <br /> <br /> <br />loadings. <br /> <br /> <br />3, Perform a bathymetric survey of the Bear Creek Reservoir. <br /> <br />TECHNICAL APPROACH <br />Each of the above three objectives has been designated as a technical <br />study task in this proposal. In addition, a fourth <br />field-supervision/data-reporting task is described to insure that the <br />study results are summarized and well documented in quarterly data <br />reports. <br />Task 1 Stream-Inflow Monitoring <br />--Nutrient mass loadings to the reservoir are dervied primarily from <br />surface-water inflows. Two inflow monitoring sites have been identified <br />for this study effort -- the Bear Creek tributary inflow (USGS Station <br />No. 0671065) and the Turkey Creek tributary inflow (USGS Station <br />No. 06711040). Water-quality sampling surveys will be conducted at <br />these two inflow sites on a schedule consistent with that proposed for <br />the in-reservoir monitoring (see Task 2); monthly surveys during the <br />September-through-April period and bimonthly surveys during the <br />May-through-August period, During this latter period, more highly <br /> <br />36 <br />
