- Between 6 – 9 cruises/yr
- Roughly monthly Apr – Oct
- 2-3 days to sample
Three pilot surveys in 1990(may give best baseline data)

All water qualitly monitoring data available through two NOAA-GLERL Technical Memos:
•TM-91, Nalepa et al. 1996 includes data for 1991-1993
•TM-115, Johengen et al. 2000 includes data for 1994 – 1996
1991-1996 Saginaw Bay: Data Availability1991-1996 Saginaw Bay: Data Availability
Journal of Great Lakes Research: special volume v21 (1995) Bierman et al. (1984) summarizes data from 1974-1980. Data has been extracted from STORET and in our databases
Total Phosphorous Loads for Saginaw River (1989-2005)Total Phosphorous Loads for Saginaw River (1989-2005)
Have: CSO/SSO Fraction of TP Annual Load to Saginaw Bay
• MDEQ• Model predictions
Calibration of the DLBRM Water Quality Simulations
Available databases• EPA STORET (www.epa.gov/STORET):
The Legacy Data Center contains information prior to 1999 and • The Modernized STORET contains information since 1999. • Permit Compliance System (PCS)- EPA, CSO and SSO – Michigan• EPA NPDES Management System (NMS)- Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality• USGS Water Quality Data (http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis)
Problems: • Sporadic sampling, • Poor temporal and spatial coverage, • Uncertain data quality, • Scarcity of water quality parameters
(Suspended sediment concentrations; BOD; E-coli; Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen; Total & Dissolved P, Atrazine)
• Uneasy to manipulate data (ASCII and HTML format)
- provide accurate annual loading of TP, SRP, TN, NO3, TSS for Saginaw River
- sample upstream of Saginaw and downstream Bay City to isolate these 2 major urban sources
- Help parameterize sediment and nutrient transport in DLBRM - event based runoff, high temporal intensity - focus on confluence of 4 main tributaries:
Cass, Flint, Tittabawasse and Shiawassee - 3-4 events in first couple of years
USGS and MDEQ Water Quality and Discharge Sampling Sites
DEQ samples 12 times a year: Low for model calibrationMultiple Stressor Plan: 30-40 times (incorporate DEQ sites)
DEQ Contacts1. Christine Aiello
- compiles water quality reports2. Jeff Cooper
- runs biological monitoring component- helping define ‘intensive’ nutrient source study, focusing on 3 other direct input streams:
USGS Contact 1. Rick Hubbell
- runs the water quality sampling program for DEQ
Helpful for selecting sampling locations to compliment existing monitoring programs and flow gauging sites.
