- Description:
- This report covers water quality data collected by the University of Idaho at Kanaka and Boulder Rapids located in the Middle Snake River. The Middle Snake River flows through an incised canyon from Milner Dam to King Hill. The present location and configuration of the river is the result of ancient canyon filling processes and erosion and sedimentation during the Pleistocene Bonneville flood (Malde, 1968). Star Falls and Murtaugh Bridge water quality stations are located in the upper portion of the Middle Snake River reach near Murtaugh, Idaho. The purpose of the water quality study was to develop base line water quality data on the Middle Snake River at Star Falls to assist in evaluating the impact of a proposed hydropower facility by B and C Energy. Sampling was conducted from July 1991 to December 1991 on a biweekly basis for the Star Falls station. The Murtaugh Bridge station was sampled concurrently with the Star Falls station approximately four times to provide data for establishing a relationship between the two sites. In an earlier water quality study by the University of Idaho, the Murtaugh Bridge station was sampled on a biweekly basis for an entire year. Submitted to B and C Energy.
