This report is the fifth in a series of annual interim |
|
reports documenting the results of a comprehensive water |
|
quality study at Hartwell and Richard B. Russell Lakes |
|
and at J. Strom Thurmond Dam and Reservoir (formerly |
|
called Clarks Hill Dam and Lake) in the Savannah River |
|
Basin and pertains to the period January to December |
|
1988. This report also summarizes the results of all |
|
studies during the 5-year period following impoundment of |
|
Richard B. Russell Lake. Water quality conditions in |
|
Richard B. Russell Lake were markedly improved in 1988 |
|
compared with those of early study years. Most pronounced |
|
was a marked decline in the extent of the anoxic region |
|
in the main stem of the lake. Coincidentally, |
|
concentrations of manganese and iron in the main stem of |
|
the lake and in release waters were lower than |
|
concentrations observed in previous years. Conditions in |
|
the major tributary embayments were similar to those of |
|
previous years, however. Continued improvement in water |
|
quality is anticipated over the next several years, due |
|
continued reduction in the decomposition of organic |
|
material inundated during impoundment. Dissolved oxygen |
|
concentrations in Richard B. Russell Lake releases during |
|
summer months were maintained near 6 mg/l with operation |
|
of the oxygenation system. |
