TMDL Survey – East Fork San Gabriel River

Actively Recruiting Volunteers

Actively Recruiting Volunteers 🎣

FRVC will be conducting a trash assessment on the East Fork San Gabriel River.  Hiking is minimal and some locations are not currently open or accessible to the public to to fire damage.

FRVC has partnered with the Forest Service to evaluate the impact of trash left in the stream and stream banks by recreational visitors.  Because of the results of prior surveys, the East Fork was listed on the Clean Water Act's section 303(d) list of impaired waters due to trash and debris. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board has tasked the administrating body for the stream, the Forest Service, to ensure that the trash does not exceed set health standards referred to Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL).

 

The survey will encompass 4 locations (reaches) along the East Fork.

 - The flats downstream of Follows Camp

 - The stream across from the Oaks Picnic Area

 - Eldoradoville vicinity or the area near the confluence of Cattle Canyon and the East Fork

 - The area below Coyote Flats

The survey includes both in-stream and stream bank assessments.

The trash will be categorically listed and removed (if possible) from the survey area.

 

If you are interested you can learn more about the survey from Section 4.3.1.1, 4.3.1.1b, 4.3.1.1c, and 4.3.1.1d from the link below.  

https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/swamp/cwt_guidance.html

 

What To Bring: 

Volunteers will be in the stream and some will be out of the stream so plan your attire around where you plan to survey (you can wet-wade or wear waders).

 - hat, sunscreen, bug spray, food (lunch and snacks) and water

 - appropriate clothing for the climate of the day.  Closed toe shoes, and I recommend long sleeves, long pants.

 - backpack to hold all your personal gear

 - waders and wading boots if you have them or we do have hip waders to loan out for the day, just let me know your boot size or plan to wet-wade.

Actively Recruiting Volunteers 🎣

FRVC will be conducting a trash assessment on the East Fork San Gabriel River.  The survey requires 4 to 6 volunteers. Hiking is minimal and locations are easy to access.  

FRVC has partnered with the Forest Service to evaluate the impact of trash left in the stream and stream banks by recreational visitors.  Because of the results of prior surveys, the East Fork was listed on the Clean Water Act's section 303(d) list of impaired waters due to trash and debris. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board has tasked the administrating body for the stream, the Forest Service, to ensure that the trash does not exceed set health standards referred to Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL).

 

The survey will encompass 4 locations (reaches) along the East Fork.

 - The flats downstream of Follows Camp

 - The stream across from the Oaks Picnic Area

 - Eldoradoville vicinity or the area near the confluence of Cattle Canyon and the East Fork

 - The area below Coyote Flats

The survey includes both in-stream and stream bank assessments.

The trash will be categorically listed and removed (if possible) from the survey area.

 

If you are interested you can learn more about the survey from Section 4.3.1.1, 4.3.1.1b, 4.3.1.1c, and 4.3.1.1d from the link below.

What To Bring: 

Volunteers will be in the stream and some will be out of the stream so plan your attire around where you plan to survey (you can wet-wade or wear waders).

 - hat, sunscreen, bug spray, food (lunch and snacks) and water

 - appropriate clothing for the climate of the day.  Closed toe shoes, and I recommend long sleeves, long pants.

 - backpack to hold all your personal gear

 - waders and wading boots if you have them or we do have hip waders to loan out for the day, just let me know your boot size or plan to wet-wade.

 - gloves (we will be picking up trash) I will bring extra gloves in case you don't have any.

 Trash bags and trash pickers and any required survey equipment will be provided.
