Biological measurement program in the Savannah River. Interim report, 1 March-31 May 1982

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5745545

The program was designed to provide data on the biological communities in the river that might be directly affected by the present and proposed activities at the Savannah River Plant. The density and distribution of ichthyoplankton and benthic macroinvertebrate meroplankton was determined in the river, nearby creeks and the intake canals. The potential impact of the present and proposed cooling water intake rates on aquatic organisms was evaluated. The potential impact of existing and proposed increased thermal discharges was evaluated. The rate of impingement of fishes at the cooling water intake screens was determined.
