Tributary monitoring data was used by the USGS, NCWQR, USEPA and ECCC to calculate spring and annual phosphorus loads. Annual loads were estimated at the river mouth using tributary monitoring and municipal discharge data from NCWQR, OEPA, MDEQ, USEPA, USGS, ECCC, and OMECC.
St. Clair-Detroit River System 2019 Viability Report
Updated on: June 19 2020
As large-scale restoration plans for degraded aquatic habitats evolve, it is essential that multiorganizational collaborations have a common vision to achieve consensus on restoration goals. Development of restoration targets and postrestoration monitoring strategies can be focused using a viability analysis framework that supports an adaptive management process. Resource managers in the corridor can use these results to identify knowledge gaps, research and restoration priorities, and to assess progress towards meeting restoration goals.
