   Caption:  The graph shows average, minimum, and maximum surface water temperatures measured at various sites in Stemple Creek and its estuary, Estero de San Antonio, during 1988-1990.  Sampling occurred generally monthly for at least one station, with the number of temperature measurements at each station ranging from 7 to 22 samples for the monitoring period.  Note that Stations S-2 through S-6 are estuarine.  The reference values represent the maximum North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board  Stemple Creek TMDL thresholds to be met by 2004 from May-November (20°C) and December-April (13.8°C) at a specific freshwater and saline location (Salisbury, 1997).  This monitoring was part of a water quality study of Americano and Stemple Creek watersheds by Merritt Smith Consulting for the City of Santa Rosa and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  See Picture for a map of the sampling locations and Info Links for more details.
