RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, have been grouped into nine series. These nine broad cate-
gories were established to facilitate further development and application of en-
vironmental technology. Elimination of traditional grouping was consciously
planned to foster technology transfer and a maximum interface in related fields.
The nine series are:
1. Environmental Health Effects Research
2. Environmental Protection Technology
3. Ecological Research
4. Environmental Monitoring
5. Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
6. Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports (STAR)
7. Interagency Energy-Environment Research and Development
8. "Special" Reports
9. Miscellaneous Reports
This report has been assigned to the ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH series. This series
describes research on the effects of pollution on humans, plant and animal spe-
cies, and materials. Problems are assessed for their long- and short-term influ-
ences. Investigations include formation, transport, and pathway studies to deter-
mine the fate of pollutants and their effects. This work provides the technical basis
for setting standards to minimize undesirable changes in living organisms in the
aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments.

FOREWORD
Environmental protection efforts are increasingly directed toward
preventing adverse health and ecological effects associated with specific
compounds of natural or human origin. As part of this Laboratory's
research on the occurrence, movement, transformation, impact, and control
of environmental contaminants, the Technology Development and Applications
Branch develops management or engineering tools for assessing and con-
trolling adverse environmental effects of non-irrigated agriculture and
of silviculture.
This two-volume report presents an assessment and review of forestry
management activities that can increase the non-point pollutant source
potential, the effectiveness of demonstrated control techniques to reduce
this potential, the usefulness and reliability of existing non-point source
controls, and an evaluation of the water quality data base available for
model development and testing.

ABSTRACT
Contained in this volume are the model evaluation forms and the water-
shed inventory forms compiled as the basis for the conclusions reached in the
state-of-the-art assessment presented in Volume I relating wildland management
activities with an inventory of monitored watersheds having data suitable for
model development and testing. This report was completed by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture under an interagency agreement (EPA-IAG-D5-0660) with the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The main objective of this report—a result of an interagency agree-
ment between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Forest Service,
U.S. Department of Agriculture—is to define the relationship between wild-
land management activities and an inventory of monitored watersheds having
data suitable for model development and testing.
SCOPE
The report is limited to non-point source pollution as it relates to
wild!and environments and management activities and excludes the effects of
urban, industrial, agricultural, and mining activities on wildlands. In con-
siders only the direct effects on the physical, chemical, or microbiological
portions of the aquatic ecosystem and not the related effects on the higher
life forms. The report specifically covers work on the forest service, but
also that of others on non-point source predictive models.
GENERAL METHODOLOGY AND PROCEDURES
The report was compiled by a task force of 27 Forest Service personnel.
Task force members were chosen for their general knowledge of water resources
management and their specialized expertise in the various areas addressed in
the report.
The three main tasks were: (1) relating wildland management practices
to non-point pollutants and water quality, (2) identifying predictive models,
and (3) identifying data bases suitable for model development and testing.
The report is divided into two volumes. Volume I contains the text
material that supports the conclusions reached in the state-of-the-art
assessment. Volume II contains the model evaluation forms and watershed in-
ventory forms used by the contractors. The appendix material consists of
these forms and summaries.
The forms are the original working documents and were structured to
meet the needs of the project.
-------
APPENDIX DESCRIPTION
Appendix A contains the model evaluation forms that were completed for
each model evaluated. Each model was assigned a number for identification
and the forms are presented sequentially. Within the sequencing, the models
are grouped by predictive category. The major categories are physical and
biological with further stratification under each.
Appendix B contains the watershed inventory forms that were compiled
for each of the inventoried watersheds. These forms are organized by the
geographical areas. Figure 2 (p. 106) of Volume I shows the geographical
subdivisions. The number on the watershed inventory form (i.e. NE-1) cor-
responds to the suitability ranking assigned to each of the inventoried
watersheds within the respective geographical areas. The lower the number
the higher the suitability for model development and testing. These numbers
also appear in Table 6 (p.108) of Volume I that displays data availability
relating water quality to wildland management activities.
Appendix C is a summary that references the models by number and pre-
dictive category. The model numbers also appear in the model suitability ma-
trix shown in Table 5 (p. 74) of Volume I. The model numbers are consistent
with those on the model evaluation forms.

summary: Flow characterisitcs were related to various sets
of eight basin characteristics by statistical cor-
relation method. The 26 stream characterisitcs re-
presented high, low, and medium lows—flows used
most in the design studies
variables Required & Time Scales: Drainage area, annual
precipitation, channel length, channel slope, pre-
cipitation intensity, forest cover, elevation
greater than 1524 (5000 feet) evapotranspira-
tion (Pot ET)
Calibration Requirements:
Variables Predicted & Time Scales: Twenty-six Streamflow
parameters including monthly flows, mean annual
flow, 2-2, 50-year flood, 1-215-day, 2-year
high, and 1-215-day, 50-year high.
Previous Applications: Topographical parameters were used
by Scotland Williams, USGS, Water Resources Inves-
tigation 47-73, 128 p., 1974.
Strong Points: The number of streamflow parameters is
comprehensive.
-------
weak Points: The errors in all the relations are quite
large (ranging from 40 to 80 percent). The range
of forest cover is too small'to be of much diagno-
stic value. Stepwise regression techniques, which
was used, probably does not give very reliable
coefficients where such high correlations among
the variables are involved.

summary: Rainfall rated to represent watershed areas is
routed through the soils on the watershed for different
capability classes and associated infiltration; evapo-
transpiration and overland flow are calculated and flow
from the watershed in three stratified units, plus the
channel is routed.
Variables Required & Time Scales: Continuous rainfall,

Calibration required for new units
Variables Predicted & Time Scales:
Annual water yield, flood peaks, and recession flows

detail what is happening on individual units of water-
sheds and routing is to channels and outflow.
weak Points: Flow peaks and recession flows and hence

Previous Applications: See Brown, Harry E., et al. "Op-
portunities for increasing water yields and other multiple-

vice Research Paper, RM-126, 1974.
strong Points: A rather complete picture of the hydrolog-
ic cycle, including 3-dimensional evaluation of the soil
moisture storage.
Weak Points: The model has only been applied on the Beaver
Creek watersheds where unique forest characteristics of
surface runoff and channel flow exist. Needs to be tested
on other areas. A runoff model will not be water quality

summary: Stanford model type IV was modified chiefly to
group contributions into fast medium and slow rather
than surface runoff, interflow and ground water flow.
Variables REquired & T.ime Scales: Elements of the hydro-
logic cycle, as indexed by the Stanford model, are on
a six-hour input except for infiltration, zone retention,
surface interflow detention, and lower zone retention,
which are on an hourly basis; seepage and ground water
are on a daily basis. . .
calibration Requirements: ror individual or some water-
sheds before application
Variables Predicted & Time Scales: Six-hour Streamflow
Previous Applications: One of the sequential modifications
of Stanford model--widely used, widely modified.
strong Points: Deviation from infiltration theory may
make it more realistic for forested watersheds.
weak Points: Soil relation to activities seems to be
through evapotranspiration which is calculated on
theoretical grounds, which are still of questionable
applicability to forest land activities.

annual runoff volumes was established, and
statistical methods applied to determine
means and variances of runoff volumes.
The streamflow records were used to draw
isopleths of streamflow for the U.S. and
with some greater detail for the West.

the general streamflow for the area involved (presumably
with adjustment for deviation of the particular area
from the average in the map zone).

runoff in thousands of acre feet per square mile, the
ratio of the 90-day annual runoff to annual runoff
and standard deviation of the volumes of annual
runoff.
Previous Applications: Technical Report No. 1, June 1955,

strong Points: Streamflow and its variability is normal-
ized insofar as possible with the records then avail able.

summary: Utilizes a main program and three subroutines
(SOIL, TABLOK, and UNTAB). The "main" program representa-
tive of any hydrologic model calls the subroutines: SOIL
determines the hydraulic conductivity; TABLOK determines
the particular hydraulic conductivity and pressure values
at given soil water contents; UNTAB appears to check on the
tabled values of conductivity (not really discussed in the
article). The total program package can provide an effective
bridge between available data and the input data requirement
of a physically based soil-water model. Computer program
and user's guide are available from Oak Ridge.
Variables Required & Time Scales: Water content, pressure,
total porosity saturated conductivity.
Calibration Requirements: None
Variables Predicted & Time Scales: Hydraulic conductivity.

summary: A nomograph is presented which predicts sub-soil ..,
erodibility ("scalped soils") of high clay subsoils. The
nomograph is correlated to the erodibility factor, "K," of
the Universal Soil Loss Equation. It is usable only with
high clay subsoils, with very slow permeability and blocky
or massive structure containing amorphous iron and aluminum
hydrous oxides. Also applicable to compacted fill soils.
The study suggests a "soil management" factor which should
replace the "cropping-management" factor in the Universal
Soil Loss Equation when the latter is used to predict sub-
soil erosion. Further work is suggested to incorporate
initial soil moisture content, separate the crystalline
and amorphous forms of aluminum and iron hydroxides and
test on soils other than blocky or having low permeabilities,
This would improve the application of this model to broad
areas. Write up is available on procedure.
Variables Required & Time Scales: Soil particle size dis-
tribution, amorphous hydrous oxides of iron, aluminum and
silicon.
Calibration Requirements: N/A
Variables Predicted & Time Scales: Subsurface erodibility
Previous Applications: Utilized agricultural soils of the

Summary:
Measurements of reservoir deposition at 48
northern California reservoirs were studied by
principle component analysis for four cate-
gories of variables: catchment, streamflow,
snow, and land use. The regression coefficient
obtained may be used to estimate the contribution
of each variable to total sediment discharge and
hence to estimate the effects of change in any
variable on the expected change in sedimentation.

graphy, geologic types, road characteristics, rain
and snow characteristics based on elevation, and reser-
voir capacity.

summary: The independent effects of some watershed
variables including past fire history on peak dis-
charges and sediment deposition during a major flood
were isolated in quantitative terms by means of
multiple regression analysis of data from many
watersheds.
variables Required & Time Scales: 24-hour maximum preci-

variable* Predicted & Time Scales: Peak discharge at re-

southern California
Previous Applications: None
string Points: The multi-watershed, multivariable approach
is probably the best way of evaluating unique major
floods and their sedimentation effects which are the
major causes of damage.
86
-------
Weak Points: The antecedent conditions of any single
storm are unique (droughts, watershed wetness, etc.)
hence another storm might produce quite different
results. The lack of a completely burned watershed
immediately prior to the storm possibly limits
interpretation of major storm effect on a completely
burned watershed.

strong Points: Simple index of topography and an index
of vegetation effects in arid climate may be a good
approximation of sediment delivery ratios

index of management alternatives even though they do
not directly imply particular activities.

summary: Model is basically a device for completely
allocating moisture. Incoming precipitation is allo-
cated in a cascading fashion among a series of compart-
ments. Output from the system consists of evapotrans-
piration losses and streamflow on a daily basis from
hourly precipitation and calculated monthly, evapo-
transpiration, and a recession "constant."
calibration Requirements: Calibration is required
Variables Predicted & Time Scales: Daily Streamflow,
sediment discharge and total potassium loads, all on
a daily basis
Previous Applications: Effect of timber cutting, burning,
and replanting of a small watershed on the William
Bankhead National Forest on total streamflow
Strong Points: Most elements of the hydrological cycle
are included in the simulation model of streamflow;
any parameter directly related to streamflow may be
estimated
Weak Points: five primary parameters to be optimized
would be difficult to estimate well without a great
deal of experience, hence may be unique to particular
watersheds

Summary: Formula derived by Anderson (1949) for San
Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains was extended to
the south Coastal Mountains by relation to measured
sediment deposition in the Gibralter Reservoir.Rela-
tive erodability calculated from geologic type and
soil samples and relative discharge for particular

annual sediment deposition in reservoirs.
Previous Applications: USDA flood prevention programs,

Strong Points: Inclusion of soil erodability index based
on geology minimizes the need for calibration on new
conditions; infiltration differences among treatments
were associated with rainfall excesses and the cover
density to index a variety of treatment effects.
Weak Points: Water quality indexes are not directly

Summary: By use of sediment rating curves developed from
measurement or channel stability ratings, increases in flow
due to vegetative changes (EGA model) are reflected in in-
creases in sediment/unit discharge + on-site contributions
through the use of the WRRS (Watershed Response Rating
System).
variables Required & Time Scales: Watershed response rat-
ing, stream channel stability, estimate of pre- and post-
treatment water yield (mean monthly).
calibration Requirements: Test to local sediment rating
curves by channel stability to obtain slope * intercept
+ calibration for water yield model.
Variables Predicted & Time Scales: Sediment production
increases unit time/unit flow (coupled with water yield
analysis and on-site and channel stability).
Previous Applications: Northern Idaho, western Montana
strong Points: Combines watershed (measurable) variables
and an easy channel stability evaluation coupled with the
EGA1model or other appropriate water yield model to
rapidly estimate changes in sediment/unit time/unit
flow change. Separates channel erosion from direct
on-site contributions.
weak Points: The on-site erosion model and sediment de-
livery ratios need further testing. Should be tied into
a process model.If mean annual rates are determined, the
flow used should be normalized to long term expectancy.

Type: Physical^ Chemical Biological X Aquatic X

Activities:
size of Area: Small watersheds of an Experimental Forest
vegetation zones: Douglas fir-vine maple-salmonberry
Type: Analytic procedure X simulation Regression X
Stochastic Deterministic
Summary: Hourly temperature of small streams can be
accurately predicted using an energy balance.
Micrometeorological measurements are required to
assess the environment of the small stream accurately.
The temperature-prediction technique was tested on
three streams in Oregon. On unshaded stretches, net
all-wave radiation is the predominant energy source
during the day, evatoration and convection account for
less than 10% of the total energy exchange. Conduction
of heat into the stream bottom is an important energy
balance component on shallow streams having a bedrock
bottom. Up to 25% of the energy absorbed by such a
stream may be transferred into the bed. Hourly temper-
ature changes of 0-16F were predicted to within 1 degree
more than 90% of the time. This technique permits for-
esters to control water temperature through manipula-
tion of stream-side vegetation.
Variables Required & Time Scales: Solar angle, meteo-
rologic variables of the energy balance, stream size,
streamflow, and characteristics of stream bottom.
Calibration Requirements:
Variables Predicted & Time Scales:

Previous Applications: Applied to clearcutting on coast

Summary: The temperature change that occurs between
two points on a stream is directly proportion-
al to the surface area of the stream and the heat
load applied between these points. It is inversely
proportional to the flow. Good estimates of the heat
load can be made with solar radiation data if the
stream is uniformly exposed to sunlight. Foresters
can use this technique to predict the effect of
clear-cutting on stream temperature.

Summary: A model for predicting the maximum change in
temperature from completely exposing a reach
of stream to solar radiation was developed during
earlier research. This model, which assumes that net
solar radiation is the sole source of energy to the
stream, worked well on most streams. In a few cases
it worked very poorly. These streams contained either
a large proportion of pools or bed rock in the stream
bottom. It was found that only the flowing portion
of the pools should be included in the heat exchange
process and that the bed rock stream bottoms can con-
duct about 20% of the incident solar radiation away
from the stream. Reducing estimates of stream surface
area and net heat load according to pool configuration
and bed condition provided good estimates of tempera-
ture change using the original model.

Summary: a model was developed and tested for estima-
tion of the effects of partial vegetative and topo-
graphic shade on radiation exchange of streams.
Theoretical shade effects on direct solar, diffuse
solar, reflected solar, transmitted solar radiation,
and both terrestrial and atmpspheric longwave radi-
ation were analyzed. Theoretical and measured down-
ward allwave radiation flux densities compared favor-
ably for a stream partially shaded by vegetation
during the summer days. Theory and measurements
were used to estimate daily and diurnal shade effects
on radiation exchange of streams. Maximum shade-
induced reductions in daily absorbed solar plus
downward longwave radiation occurred for N-S stream
azimuths, clear daysand large shade altitudes.
Reductions were negligible on streams large e-
nough to be sinks for waste heat, but could be
significant on small streams especially if diurnal
variations in radiation exchange were considered.
Shade e fects on heat disipation from thermally
loaded streams were inferred from heat balance data.
Variables Required & Time Scales: Solar altitude,
solar declination, latitude hour angle, flux density
of radiant heat received and lost, view factor den-""
sity of water, specific heat of water, stream depth,
stream velocity, water temperature, latent heat of
vaporization.

Summary: As a result of the analysis contained herin
the following conclusions are drawn.
1. The definition of the excess temperature as the
difference between the actual water temperature
and the natural water temperature ( the natural
temperature is the temperature which would have
occurred provided no unnatural heat source were
present in the system) is convenient and useful.
2. The transfer of excess thermal energy from
the water surface is proportional to the excess
temperature for small values of excess tempera-
ture. Excess temperature up to approximately
15 degrees Celsius may be considered small for
engineering purposes.
3. Eq. 28 can be used to determine the distri-
bution of excess temperature in space and time.
4. The surface transfer coefficient for excess
heat is primarily dependent upon the natural
water temperature and the wind speed and is al-
most independent of air temperature and humidity.
5. For a given heat input and olume of recei-
ving water the temperature rise, which is regu-
lated by water quality standards will be larger
in winter than in summer.

summary: The use of models for predicting changes in
water parameters is currently considered an integral
part of river basin management. The application of
modeling techniques to col i form organisms is in its
infancy due to the complexities involved and the lack
of definitive information on coliform populations in
natural environments. The purpose of this study was
to make a comparative analysis of the available models
for coliform organisms in order to improve on the
state of the art of this subject. The available coli-
form models may be classified into deterministic or
statistical types. In this study, six different
models, three of each type, were selected for analysis
and were applied to coliform data available on the
Leaf River. Results of comparing the models indi-
cated that a deterministic model was best suited for
fecal coliform. Ultimate selection of a model for
coliform organisms is dependent not only on the
accuracy of the model but on ease of implementation.
Current technology would probably dictate the use of
a deterministic model because of the lack of a com-
plete data base on which to base statistical models.

Summary: Seasonal, diurnal, and streamflow fluctuations
in populations of total coliform, fecal coliform, and
streptococci were determined for oligotrophic streams
in western North Carolina. The effects of changes
in stream parameters such as pH, temperature, nutrient
content and streamflow on microbial populations were
evaluated. Water temperature appeared to be a course
regulator of seasonal dynamics of total and fecal coli-
form bacterial populations. An inverse relationship
existed between daily streamflow and total coliform
die! cycles. Total coliform diel cycles were evident
throughout the year with the highest counts in the
afternoon and lowest counts at night. All tested
populations peaked during stormflow but fecal strep-
tococci numbers were more stable than total coliform
or fecal coliform. The fecal col i form/fecal strep-
tococci ratio (FC/FS) was less responsive to storms
than the toral coliform count. Stormflow data support
recent work suggesting that the multiplication of
coliform, but not enterococci bacteria, takes place
in the bottom sediments of low nutrient content
streams. A 3-day study in streams adjacent to a fully
occupied campground revealed significant increases
in total and fecal coliform. Camper activities,
primarily stirring of stream bottom sediments
by wading and related activities, appeared to
be causitive factors.

summary: The water temperature quality criteria for
natural bodies consists of: 1) a maximum allowable
temperature, 2) a maximum allowable temperature rise,
and 3) a maximum rate of temperature rise. To
assess the extent of thermal pollution in natural
water bodies and to determine the degree to which
the above criteria are satisfied, it is necessary
to predict the water temperature time history when
the water body is subjected to a thermal load. To
compute the temperature time history, a heat bal-
ance is applied to the water body. The rate of
change of energy in the impoundment is equated
to the sum of the thermal load plus the net air-
water heat transfer. The heat balance differen-
tial equation is integrated numerically intime on
a digital computer. The temperature/time histor-
ies are calculated and used to determine the
projected power plant capacity for lakes to meet
the water temperature quality criteria.

Impoundment volume, impoundment surface, site latitude,
power plant efficiency, ratio of condenser to total
plant losses, effective index of refraction for
water, effective index of refraction for air,

Summary: The upper basin of the North Fork of the Sno-
qualmie River was used for a study of stream tempera-
tures in the headwater regions of a typical Pacific
Northwest mountain river. Water temperature, stream
flow, and climatological data are given for the heating
season of calendar year 1967. A simplified pro-
cedure is suggested for predicting water tempera-
ture at a given station on such a stream. The
suggested procedure uses a typical heat energy-
budget approach; a number of terms usually con-
sidered in heat budget calcualtions are omitted,
while provision is made for consideration of
groundwater temperatures. The accuracy of the
suggested simple scheme remains to be verified
because stream travel times required in the
calculations have yet to be obtained on the
river study. Measuremnts of air temperatures
and of solar radiation in the test basin indi-
cate that these variables may indeed be satis-
factorily predicted on the basis of conventional
data obtained at the federal weather station
in the same general region.

The empirical relationship of an annual harmonic
function for stream temperature measurements in central
New England can be improved by considering a harmonic
period of less than 365 days instead of 365 or 366

prediction of stream temperature at any site given
(1) the mean basin altitude (F) in meters above mean
sea level, and (2) station latitude (LAT), in degrees.

summary: Using an empirical relationship of the air and

is developed for the St. Lawrence River between

condition of the river. Using observed air tempera-
ture data, the cooling of the river and its tempera-
ture are estimated, The calculated temperatures
check with ground measurements within IF (0.6C), 9
days after the initial state measurement. A rela-

for the five reaches that have similar hydraylic
characteristics between Kingston and Cornwall.
