Minor watershed number(s): 30030, 30047, 30050, 30056, 31015, 31058, 32042, 32073
This study is performed on minor watersheds: 30030, 30047, 30050, 30056, 31015, 31058, 32042, 32073. Analysis of additional sites occurred along the main stem and tributaries of the Minnesota River.
The Biological and Toxicological Assessment component of the Minnesota River Assessment Project (MRAP) includes studies which assist in defining existing conditions in the Minnesota River and it's tributaries. This sediment characterization study is completed as a part of the Biological and Toxicological Assessment component of the Minnesota River Assessment Project (MRAP). From 1989-1992, studies include sediments (23 sites), settleable solids (12 sites), clam tissues (11 sites) along the river's mainstem and tributaries, with the stormwater runoff analysis done on 8 select minor watershed sites within the basin. Surface water quality and quantity data (1991) from the Physical and Chemical Assessment component of the Minnesota River Assessment Project (MRAP) is also used in this study. Additional sampling was performed in 1992 to obtain a more complete data set.
