Poplar River Sediment Source Assessment

Document
Description
The main goal of this project was to investigate sediment sources for the Lower Poplar River TMDL in more detail than was possible in previous studies. The work plan's initial objectives were to conduct more field investigations of near channel sediment sources, identify a reference reach for the Poplar River and select key storms for modeling total sediment loading to the river. Because of the high sediment loads generated from ski slopes and the lack of sediment production from the channel, the initial work plan objectives were modified. We enhanced our collection of data relevant to upland erosion processes, identified the location and conducted initial modeling of hydrology altering flow paths and did a review of historical land practices.
