VIEW REPORT (278K)
The EPA recently initiated a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) of the Spokane River Basin in northern Idaho to evaluate contaminant release, fate, and transport. In March 1998, the EPA asked the USGS to identify hydrologic and water-quality studies the USGS might perform in support of the RI/FS. The study described in this report was conducted as Task 7, evaluation of suspended and bedload sediment transport within the Coeur d'Alene River Basin and affected areas. The objective of this study was to improve understanding of the effects of different river discharges and lake levels of Coeur d'Alene Lake on the transport of cadmium, zinc, and lead within the main stem Coeur d'Alene River.
