Usda Forest Service Clark Fork River Basin Monitoring, Michael P. Goggin

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

I am pleased to be here to share with you Forest Service water quality monitoring activities in the Clark Fork River basin. Throughout the day, we have heard about the many and varied studies and approaches to monitoring water quality in the Clark Fork River. It is important that this information be brought together and shared so that we can understand the cumulative impacts from all ownerships and activities on the Clark Fork River. Under- standing the cumulative impacts is paramount to the management of the water resource in the Clark Fork basin.

As you may know, there are six …

Copper, Zinc, And Arsinic In Bottom Sediments Of Clark Fork River Reservoirs: Preliminary Findings, Carolyn Johns, Johnnie Moore

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

Acetic acid extracts of sediments from four Clark Fork River reservoirs,--Milltown, Thompson Falls, Noxon Rapids, and Cabinet Gorge--indicate that mining and smelting operations in the upper drainage have enriched metal concentrations throughout the river. Milltown Reservoir contains metal values over 10 times the background levels for copper, zinc, and arsenic. Enrichment over background decreases downstream where the lower reservoirs contain copper and zinc concentrations 4 to 10 times over background values. In the lower reservoirs arsenic is not elevated over background. These trends suggest that contaminants have been transported over 350 miles from the major source of metals in the …

Past, Present, And Future Fishery Management In Cabinet Gorge And Noxon Rapids Reservoirs, Scott S. Rumsey, Joe E. Huston

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

Noxon Rapids and Cabinet Gorge Reservoirs are run-of-the-river hydroelectric impoundments on the Clark Fork River in western Montana. Operations at Noxon Rapids Reservoir changed in 1961 and 1978. The first change in operations increased average annual spring drawdown from less than 10 to more than 30 feet. The second eliminated drawdowns of more than 6 feet, except for unusual power demands. Establishment and maintenance of a satisfactory sport fishery has been largely unsuccessful in both reservoirs since the 1950's. Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) exhibited potential from 1958 through 1960 when they produced an excellent fishery, followed by a dramatic decline …

Hydrology Of The Colorado Tailings Area, Butte, Mt, Ted E. Duaime, J. L. Sonderegger, Marek Zaluski

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

During the past 7 to 8 years, the Colorado Tailings have been the site of numerous studies on potential heavy metal contribution to Silver Bow Creek (SBC).

Three years ago the Montana Department of State Lands-Abandoned Mine Lands Bureau (DSL-AML) initiated, through the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG), a study of reclamation and removal alternatives for this site. Since that time the tailings have received increased interest with the placement of SBC on the Environmental. Protection Agency's Superfund.

Numerous studies predate the ongoing Superfund and MBMG studies, with contradictory results. Loading rates in SBC have been reported to …

Limnological Investigations Of Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho, Mike A. Beckwith

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

Degradation of Lake Pend Oreille water quality as evidenced by reduced water clarity and increased "slime" growth in near-shore areas has been reported in recent years. Increased industrial discharges and nonpoint source inputs to the Clark Fork River and continuing development around the lake have created considerable public and agency concern about potential eutrophication. This study was initiated to assess the validity of those reports and concerns and to provide the basis for the design of a comprehensive limnological investigation necessary for the formulation of effective water quality protection and resource management strategies.

Milltown Project Rehabilitation, R. A. Periman

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

Milltown Dam was constructed in 1906 and 1907 as a rock fill timber-crib dam located at the confluence of the Blackfoot and Clark Fork Rivers at the community of Milltown. It was constructed by the W. A. Clark interests and acquired by the Montana Power Company in 1929. The dam has been modified over the years and now consists of a composite of timber and concrete construction. It presently is 668 feet long with an operating head of 30 feet and a structural height of about 60 feet. It has an installed capacity of 3400 kW. It generates at an …

Concluding Remarks, Howard E. Johnson

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

Today's symposium has demonstrated once again, the deep interest and optimism Montanans have for restoring the resource potential of the Clark Fork River. The registered attendance list numbers more than 150, including many from our neighboring States of Idaho and Washington. On behalf of the planning committee and sponsors of the symposium. I want to thank the attendees, participants and supporters for making this meeting a success.

Foreword, Loren Bahls

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

By 7:05 p.m. on November 10. 1983, over 300 people had crowded into and overflowed the City Council Chambers at Missoula. Montana. The occasion was the hearing before the Montana Department of Health and Environmental Sciences on a request by Champion International Corporation for a modified permit to discharge treated wastewater year round from its kraft paper mill at Frenchtown. This event, I think more than any other in recent times focused public attention on the beleaguered Clark Fork River and served as a catalyst for action.

Lower Clark Fork River Water Quality Monitoring, Loren Bahls, Gary Ingman

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

A large amount of public concern has been expressed in recent months over the general health of the lower Clark Fork River. Modification of the waste- water discharge permit for the Champion International kraft paper mill at Frenchtown has generated much of this concern. Other sources of wastewater, namely the City of Missoula wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and historic metals deposits originating upstream from Milltown Dam, have also been mentioned as possible sources of stress on the lower river.

The preliminary environmental review of the proposed permit modification for Champion International (Water Quality Bureau, January 1984) outlined a water quality …

Heavy Metals In The Flood Plain Deposits Along The Upper Clark Fork River, Peter M. Rice, Gary J. Ray

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

Concentrations of copper, arsenic and cadmium in sediments and soils deposited on the flood plain of the upper Clark Fork River drainage were determined to be one to two orders of magnitude greater than in soils from typical noncontaminated systems. Aerial deposition of metal particulates during the period of smelting activities (1884-1980) has contributed approximately 2% of the excess copper, 9% of the excess arsenic, and 30% of the excess cadmium in the riparian zone of a ranch on the flood plain at Deer Lodge; the remaining 98% excess copper, 91% excess arsenic and 70% excess cadmium in the riparian …

The Aquatic Invertebrates Of The Upper Clark Fork River, 1972-1984, Steven P. Canton, James W. Chadwick

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

Benthic invertebrate communities of the upper Clark Fork River were sampled yearly from 1972 to 1984. Invertebrates were collected in fall using a modified Hess sampler at seven stations on the upper Clark Fork River, Mill and Willow Creek and Silver Bow Creek. The upstream control station on Mill and Willow Creek (CFRO) exhibited a balanced, diverse invertebrate community throughout the study. However, during the early part of the study no invertebrates were collected at the other headwater station on Silver Bow Creek (SBC5). Following improved mine wastewater treatment upstream of SBC5 in 1972, insects were eventually collected in 1975 …

Relationships Among Fish Populations, Metal Concentrations, And Stream Discharge In The Upper Clark Fork River, Glenn R. Phillips

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

Concentrations of total recoverable copper, iron, and zinc in water were measured weekly between early April and mid-July 1984 in various segments of the Clark Fork River drainage upstream of Milltown Dam; stream discharge measurements were also recorded. Fourteen locations were sampled including eight in the mainstem and six in tributaries. All three metals were sometimes present in the Clark Fork River at concentrations that exceeded criteria for protection of aquatic life. Exceedances occurred at all mainstem stations, although conditions appeared to be least favorable for aquatic life between Deer Lodge and the confluence with Rock Creek. Of the metals …

A Synthesis Of Water Quality Problems In The Clark Fork River Basin, Vicki J. Watson

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

The Clark Fork River ecosystem is not just that water that maps call the Clark Fork River. This ribbon of surface water interacts with ground water, with the local climate, with the landscape through which it passes, and with the tributaries that feed it. These interactions acting over time deter- mine the river's nature or overall condition. As users of the river we tend to be most concerned about certain aspects of the river's condition, including its water quality, the quantity and pattern of flow, and the nature and abundance of its biota. The Clark Fork is a complex river …

Trout Populations In The Clark Fork River, Warm Springs To Superior, Montana, Dennis Workman

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

"In no part of the world is the water more limpid or pure, for whatever may be the depth of the river the bottom is seen as if there were nothing to intercept the view." These words were written by Father deSmet describing the upper Clark Fork River he observed on a trip through the upper basin in 1841. Obviously, the days of such purity are sadly gone for the Clark Fork. But by the same token, gone hopefully forever are the days when the Clark Fork was "Western Montana's sewer to the ocean." This was the headline of an …

A Method For Determining Suspended-Sediment And Trace-Metals Transpiration In The Clark Fork River, Western Montana, J. R. Knapton

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

Suspended sediments are thought to be an important transport mechanism for toxic trace metals that have been identified in the Clark Fork. Hydrologic data from a network of water-quality stations combined with data simulation will be used to calculate suspended-sediment and trace-metals transport. An ultimate goal of such an investigation might be the development of a predictive model.

Hydrologic Investigation. Silver Bow Creek Superfund Site, Montana, David Stiller

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

The upper Clark Fork River basin in western Montana has the dubious distinction of containing no fewer than three Superfund sites, all of which owe their status to the legacy of Montana's hard rock mining industry.

Chemical Reactions Controlling Copper Transportation In The Upper Clark Fork Of The Columbia River, John M. Babb, Gordon K. Pagenkopf

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

Water samples were collected from the Clark Fork of the Columbia River in Montana and analyzed for major components as well as copper. A model was developed to interpret the copper toxicity and the transport of copper through the study area. Major complexing of the copper(II) was by carbonate and sulfate. Water hardness reduces the copper (II) toxicity by at least a factor of 10.

An Overview Of Champion International's Benthological Water Quality Studies Of The Clark Fork River, David Rades

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

Benthological studies to define effluent impact have been conducted since 1956 at the pulp mill of Champion International Corporation near Missoula, Montana. The macroinvertebrates inhabiting riffle environments of the Clark Fork River are used to indicate water quality. The present study design uses the collection of replicate Surber samples from nine sites (three control plus six experimental) in a 20-mile river reach to characterize the fauna. Impact is determined by community analysis.

Present and historical data show no significant mill impact upon taxa occurrence within the study area. Plecoptera, Ephemoroptera, Trichoptera and Diptera constitute the dominant groups at all study …

Transport Of Antimony Processing Wastes In The Prospect Creek Drainage, Western Montana, Mark Shapley, William W. Woessner

Clark Fork Symposium Archives

We investigated the hydrogeologic behavior of the United States Antimony Corporation's 1O-acre waste impoundment. We found that waste fluids from the impoundment contribute measurable concentrations of antimony, sulfate, and sodium to the underlying ground water system. The concentrations and transport of these contaminants are strongly influenced by large fluctuations in the water table beneath the disposal impoundments. Water table fluctuations are, in turn, driven by seasonally variable ground water recharge from Prospect Creek.

Prospect Creek carries a measurable dissolved antimony load attributable to the impoundment site. We found this flux to be maximized under high spring streamflow conditions. Under the …
