Meta Identifier	sediment
Type of Data	Fine sediment data from shovel samples, McNeils and Freeze Cores
Originator	PALCO and Keith Barnard
Description	Much of the fine sediment data in KRIS Humboldt Bay comes from the PL Habitat Conservation Plan where data are presented in Appendix 5 and methods briefly cited in Chapter 3. Data on fine sediment are also included from Barnard (1992), an HSU M.S. Thesis that measured fine sediment in Freshwater Creek using freeze core sampling.

Status	complete
Request Log	More recent data has not been made available by PALCO.
Access Constraints	Data from 1994-96 was provided in paper format and transcribed into electronic form for use in KRIS Coho. Barnard data were transcribed from M.S. and more recent FW data (1997-99) were provided as part of PL Freshwater WA.

Data Set Name	barnsumm.dbf, errdsed.dbf, humbugs.dbf, scrdsed.db, sed_47mm_fw_94_99.dbf, sed_fines_085_hb_all_94_98.dbf, sed_fines_47mm_94_99.dbf, sed_fines_fw_085_94_99.dbf, sedtemp.dbf
Maint. and Update Freq.	on-going
Serial Name	PALCO HCP
Purpose	To describe streambed conditions and monitor trends in PALCO streams. Barnard (1992) M.S. was a study of relationships of fine sediment and dissolved oxygen in redds.
Data Quality Information	PALCO HCP does not specify whether samples were collected using McNeil's or a shovel. It is also unclear if stilling wells, which prevent loss of fines, were used with shovel samples. Choice of 4.7 mm vs. 6.4 mm underestimates sand-sized particles.
Use Constraints	Bulk gravel samples are subject to several significant sampling issues, and none of this issues or the exact protocol are available. See critique by R. Klein. Barnard's (1992) use of freeze cores may retain fines better than bulk samples.
Supplemental Information	Includes data collected by PALCO (1994-1999) and Barnard (1992). Data assimilated for KRIS Coho for Yager Creek include Winzler and Kelly (1980-81) and CDFG (1991-1994).
