When values lower than the minimum analytical detection level (MDL) are reported, the MDL value for that analysis will be substituted on the chart. A data download will show for which dates the substitutions were made. Please select a sample location.

Note: Conventional data may be available for depths not shown on this chart. For complete dataset, please use data download function.

Image to represent high concern = Temperatures > 23 °C are lethal to salmonids.

Image to represent moderate concern = Temperatures between 18 °C to 23 °C may be too warm for salmonid survival.
Note: Dissolved oxygen thresholds for salmonid survival are indicated by color changes.
Image to represent high concern = Concentrations < 2 mg/L are lethal to salmonids.

Image to represent moderate concern = Concentrations < 4.25 mg/L may threaten salmonid survival.
Note: State water quality standards for pH thresholds are indicated by Image to represent moderate concern color changes.

6.5 = the lower threshold, and 8.5 = the upper threshold of the Washington Aquatic Life Criteria.
