1. Project Information
• This project consisted of two turbidity and water quality monitoring stations (TUMS) used for research into the effects changing land use patterns and surface resource extraction on the Anchor River surface water resource. Data collection ended on July 18th, 2006 and a final report will be posted on this site when it becomes available.
2. Example Data from the North Fork and South Fork Stations
   • Turbidity/Water Level/Precipitation
   • Temperature/Conductivity
   • Discharge/Velocity

Anchor River Watershed Modeling

Current research task is to add a surface water modeling component to the groundwater work accomplished in 2001 with an EPA grant through The Community Rivers Planning Coalition. The work has currently been summarized into a brochure for local distribution to help the Anchor Point community understand the connection between the land, groundwater and water storage needed to maintain a healthy Anchor River during periods of drought.

Port Dick

Port Dick Creek has been an area of research interest for many years. CGS assisted in a stream rehabilitation effort 1996, providing a design for two widely differing spawning channels and providing long-term monitoring afterwards. The work was used to support the decline of chum salmon stock in the Port Dick Creek system, which has rebounded since 1996. Ongoing monitoring continues to understand this system to be able to apply this work to other systems should this be needed in the future.
