Caption: The amount of fine sediment in pools has been measured for several years at different stations within French Creek. The results above depict average V* values for all pools measured within a sub-basin. The V* value is a ratio of the volume of fine sediment in a pool to the volume of water and fine sediment combined. In 1994, Miner's Creek had by far the highest level of fine sediment. French Creek just above the North Fork had the lowest fines in pools. Stations on Duck Lake Creek and the N. F. French Creek showed intermediate values. The TMDL threshold for V* (O.21) displayed on the chart was derived for the Garcia River and similar thresholds have not been established for the Scott Basin (see Info Links).
