The semipermeable membrane device (SPMD) technology was employed to determine the presence of bioavailable organochlorine pesticides (OCs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water main stem lower Missouri River three its tributaries. SPMDs were deployed 1994 following extensive flood 1993. Specifically, for 28 days at Wilson State Park, IA; Nebraska City, NE; Parkville, MO; Kansas KS; Napoleon, Grand River; Glasgow, upstream from confluence Gasconade...

ABSTRACT We sampled macroinvertebrate communities at six sites on the upper Clark Fork River, Montana, to determine relations between community structure and metals in invertebrates best benthic metrics use for ranking based relative severity of effects metals. Concentrations (μg/g) were determined: Al (range = 591–4193), As (2.7–34.1), Cd (0.13–8.38), Cu (26–1382), Pb (0.54–67.1), Zn (212–1665). As, Cd, Cu, Pb, total significantly correlated with least one metric. Copper (r 0.88–0.94)...

Black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) were imported to the U.S. in 1970s control snails aquaculture ponds and have since escaped from captivity. The increase captures of wild fish has raised concerns risk native imperiled unionid mussels given previous literature classified this species a molluscivore. We acquired black commercial fishers biologists, examined digestive contents 109 captured over 8 y lentic lotic habitats central southern U.S.A. Digestive tract preserved, diet items...

Indian Creek is one of the most urban drainage basins in Johnson County, Kansas, and environmental biological conditions creek are affected by contaminants from point other sources. The County Douglas L. Smith Middle Basin (hereafter referred to as "Middle Basin") Tomahawk Wastewater Treatment Facilities (WWTFs) discharge Creek. In summer 2010, upgrades were completed increase capacity include nutrient removal at facility. There have been no recent infrastructure changes facility; however,...

The Blue River Main wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) discharges into the upper (725 km2), and is recently upgraded to implement biological nutrient removal. We measured biotic condition upstream downstream of discharge utilizing macroinvertebrate protocol developed for Kansas streams. examined responses 34 metrics determine best indicators discriminating site differences predicting condition. Significant between sites were identified 15 in April 12 August. Upstream scores significantly...

The quality of streams and relations to environmental variables in Johnson County, northeastern Kansas, were evaluated using water, streambed sediment, land use, streamflow, habitat, algal periphyton (benthic algae), benthic macroinvertebrate data. Water, samples collected March 2007 during base flow at 20 stream sites that represent 11 different watersheds the county. In addition, twice (spring summer 2007) one-half sites. Environmental data including water streambed-sediment chemistry...

The Johnson County Blue River Main Wastewater Treatment Facility discharges into the upper near border between County, Kansas and Jackson Missouri. During 2005 through 2007 wastewater treatment facility underwent upgrades to increase capacity include biological nutrient removal. effects of effluent on environmental conditions were assessed by comparing an upstream site two sites located downstream from facility. Environmental evaluated using previously newly collected discrete continuous...

Macroinvertebrate samples were collected at 15 stream sites representing 11 different watersheds in Johnson County, Kansas, 2003 and 2004 to assess biological conditions streams relations environmental variables. Published data from an additional seven sites, one six others adjacent Cass Jackson Counties Missouri also evaluated. Multimetric scores, which integrated a combination of measures that describe various aspects community abundance diversity, used evaluate compare the health streams....

ABSTRACT A habitat‐based aquatic macroinvertebrate study was initiated in the Lower Missouri River to evaluate relative quality and biological condition of dike pool habitats. Water‐quality sediment‐quality parameters assemblage structure were measured from depositional substrates at 18 sites. Sediment porewater analysed for ammonia, sulphide, pH oxidation–reduction potential. Whole sediments particle‐size distribution, organic carbon contaminants. Field water‐quality subsurface...

Water-quality data were collected from sites in the Blue River Basin July 1998 to October. Sites upstream wastewater-treatment plants or combined sewer system area had lower concentrations of total nitrogen, phosphorus, organic wastewater compounds, and pharmaceuticals, more diverse aquatic communities. downstream largest loads nutrients, pharmaceuticals. Approximately 60 percent nitrogen phosphorus originated Indian Creek, smaller amounts upper (from 28 16 percent), less than 5 Brush Creek....

The city of Wichita, Kansas uses the Equus Beds aquifer, one two sources, for municipal water supply. To meet future needs, plans artificial recharge aquifer have been implemented in several phases. Phase I Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Program began with injection from Little Arkansas River into storage subsequent recovery 2006. Construction a river intake structure surface-water treatment plant as implementation II ASR 2010. An important aspect is monitoring quality effects activities...

Stream quality in Johnson County, northeastern Kansas, was assessed on the basis of land use, hydrology, stream-water and streambed-sediment chemistry, riparian in-stream habitat, periphyton macroinvertebrate community data collected from 22 sites during 2002 through 2010. conditions at end study period are evaluated compared to previous years, stream biological communities physical chemical characterized, streams described relative Kansas Department Health Environment impairment categories...
