Appendix I. OEPA SAMPLING SITES AND RESULTS (OEPA, 2004, Pages A.99-A104) Table
A.15. Aquatic life use attainment
status for the streams sampled in the Additional sampling was conducted during July - October, 2002 to fill in gaps and further characterize and evaluate impacted areas (sites and results noted in bold). The Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI), Modified Index of Well Being (MIwb), and Invertebrate Community Index (ICI) scores are based on the performance of fish (IBI, MIwb) and macroinvertebrate communities (ICI). The Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) is a measure of the ability of the physical habitat to support biological communities. ______________________________________________________________________________ River
