Bibliography of Vancouver Lake watershed, including Burnt Bridge Creek, Flushing Channel, Lake River, and Salmon Creek
A history of restoration efforts for Vancouver Lake
Gaddis,
P. 1994. Burnt Bridge Creek Water Quality Monitoring Report 1991 to
1993. Vancouver, WA: Clark County, Water Quality Division.
The water quality of Burnt Bridge Creek has been continuously monitored since 1972. Monitoring was increased with the establishment of the Burnt Bridge Creek Stormwater Utility in 1980. The resulting monitoring data was summarized annually from 1981-1990. The present report summarizes data from 1991-1993. The report evaluates the data for exceedences of those parameters for which surface water standards have been set and analyzes for significant differences in these and other parameters between sample sites and between years. Three parameters, turbidity, total suspended solids, and total phosphorus, are analyzed over the previous 20 years.
Burnt Bridge Creek is placed in Class A by the Washington Department of Ecology, but is listed as "partially supporting" the characteristic uses designated for that category. The "partially supporting" designation is due to exceedences of standards for pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and fecal coliform bacteria (a state standard has not been set for phosphorus).
