This report presents data on: (1) the taxonomic composition, biomass, and density of macroinvertebrates that colonize artificial substrate samplers placed at designated locations in the Savannah River and tributary creeks on the SRP; (2) the taxonomic composition and densities of macroinvertebrates in the drift communities of the Savannah River and five tributary creeks that drain the SRP; (3) the biomass and chlorophyll a content of periphyton communities that colonize artificial substrates in the Savannah River and tributary creeks on the SRP; (4) 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) the possible impacts of the existing and proposed SRP thermal discharges on the macroinvertebrate and periphyton communities of the Savannah River and tributary creeks.
