This report presents the results of macroinvertebrate colonization on Hester Dendy artificial substrate samplers, macroinvertebrate drift studies, periphyton studies, and water quality analyses conducted from September 1982 through August 1983. The objectives were to: (1) determine the taxonomic composition, biomass and density of macroinvertebrates in the Savannah River and tributary creeks in the vicinity of the SRP; (2) determine the taxonomic composition and densities of macroinvertebrates inthe drift communities of the Savannah River and five tributary creeks in the vicinity of the SRP; (3) determine the biomass and chlorophyll a content of periphyton communities in the Savannah River and tributary creeks in the vicinity of the SRP; (4) evaluate water quality data for selected parameters in the Savannah River and major tributary creeks upstream, downstream and in the vicinity of the SRP; and (5) evaluate the possible impacts of the existing and proposed SRP thermal discharges to the periphyton and macroinvertebrate communities of the Savannah River and tributary creeks. 3 figs., 23 tabs.
