Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe Nonpoint Source Assessment and Management Plan 2011 (public review draft)

Summary: 
This assessment and management plan provides an updated assessment of nonpoint source pollution concerns for the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe. The 2011 update builds upon the research and results compiled for the 1994 Plan. In addition, the revision will reevaluate the concerns and provide an updated ranking of priority NPS issues. For each of these NPS concerns, possible treatment options are suggested. The updated plan will serve as a tool in the Tribe’s efforts to protect water quality and associated designated beneficial uses on reservation waters. **** This edition is a public review draft.

Benthic Macroinvertebrates Index Development and Physical Habitat Evaluation for Truckee River, Carson River, and Walker River

Summary: 
The objective of this project is two-fold; to develop a benthic macroinvertebrate multimetric index using existing data to apply to the main stems of the rivers of west central Nevada (the Truckee River, the Carson River, and the Walker River) and to evaluate physical habitat measurements for the main stem of the Truckee River as a potential assessment tool

Executive Summary
The objective of this project is two-fold; to develop a benthic macroinvertebrate multimetric index using existing data to apply to the main stems of the rivers of west central Nevada (the Truckee River, the Carson River, and the Walker River) and to evaluate physical habitat measurements for the main stem of the Truckee River as a potential assessment tool.

A multimetric benthic macroinvertebrate index was developed for the area of interest that integrated data from three river systems and two agencies (Nevada Division of Environmental Protection and Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe). Data used for the index were collected during low flow periods (late June to early November) to minimize the effects of flow on the calibration of the index. Samples were collected from riffles and were subsampled to 500 organisms, identified to genus level.
