Description

Abstract: A study of Tenmile Lake and its watershed was initiated to better understand the role of the watershed and the lake in generating and processing sediment, phosphorus, and nitrogen. Three primary tributary sites were selected (Big, Benson, and Murphy Creeks) for sampling during base flow and storm events. Additional sites were sampled throughout the watershed at a less frequent basis. In addition to sampling for sediment and nutrients, the lake sites were also sampled for phytoplankton and profile conditions.

Purpose: By better understanding important watershed processes affecting the lake, it was hoped that management decisions regarding lake and watershed restoration could be guided by quantitative information.

Time Period of Content: Field work was from November 1998 to August 1999

Geographic Extent: Tenmile Lake watershed is located on the southcentral Oregon Coast between Coos Bay and Reedsport
