Portions of Bear creek are included on the 303-d list for sediment impairment. Jim Reyburn and Mary Gansberg will collect 3 rounds of water chemistry for nutrients, collect continuous dissolved oxygen and temperature data and conduct habitat survey on Bear Creek for one month in summer to determine if additional impairments exist in this river segment. If not meeting numeric water quality standards the list will be updated to include additional impairments in 2010 update.
