KRIS Gualala : Meta Information Page
This page contains detailed information about a data set in KRIS, including where the original data reside and how to contact the sources for the data. Data sets are linked to the appropriate page by means of the Meta Identifier. Many data sets can be linked to same page by sharing the same Meta Identifier.
| Meta Identifier | TSD |
| Type of Data | Sediment |
| Originator | CA Water Resources Control Board, North Coast Reg |
| Description | Sediment source analysis from the Gualala TMDL in tons of sediment per square mile per year |
| Area | Gualala Basinwide |
| Metadata Date | 12/21/01 |

| Status | complete |
| Request Log | Data transcribed from TMDL |
| Access Constraints | none |
| Lead Organization | North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board |
| Data Set Name | tmdl_sed_source_tons_sqmi_yr.dbf |
| Maint. and Update Freq. | complete |
| Serial Name | TMDL |
| Purpose | Analyze where sediment is coming from in order to see what component is preventable. |
| Data Quality Information | Good except that lack of access to many ownerships made limited ground measurements and made the study more heavily reliant on aerial photos. CGS claims that TSD under-estimates natural sediment yield from large earthflows. |
| Use Constraints | Data are accurate at an order of magnitude level due to methods |
| Supplemental Information | Gualala TMDL, Assessment of Aquatic Conditions in the Mendocino Coast Hydrologic Unit (CWRCB, 2001). |

| Title | Gualala River Watershed Technical Support Document for Sediment. |
| Abstract | The primary objective of the Gualala River Watershed TSD for Sediment is to identify and initially quantify sources of sediment delivery in a way that allows a relative comparison of those sources and to provide information required for non point source implementation and planning. A secondary objective of the Gualala River Watershed TSD for Sediment is to identify sediment loading allocations that, when implemented, are expected to result in the attainment of the applicable water quality standards for sediment to protect beneficial uses. The key beneficial uses of concern are associated with cold water fisheries, particularly the coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fisheries." < |
