For the baseline water quality study (Study 5.5), this memorandum evaluates the water quality data (including continuous water temperature monitoring) collected from 2012 to 2014 for adequacy in representation of current riverine conditions. For the water quality modeling study (Study 5.6) that will assess effects of the project and its operations on water quality, this memorandum provides an assessment as to whether the riverine model should be extended below Project river mile 29.9.
