Summary

This data release contains data collected during August 2020 for the post Carr fire Bioassessment project at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, Shasta County, California. Data includes sediment and habitat characteristics, water chemistry, and biological conditions of tributaries to Whiskeytown Lake and Clear Creek below the dam. Samples were also collected to assess concentrations of metals in sediment, water, and invertebrate and fish tissues.

Purpose

The objective of this project is to conduct an intensive study the Clear Creek Watershed in Shasta County, CA, to determine if the 2018 Carr Fire has contributed to changes in stream or lake (i.e., below dam) water quality and biota. This information will help determine if there have been fire induced changes in water quality or aquatic ecosystems.
