Fecal Coliform TMDL for the Leaf River PROPOSED Fecal Coliform TMDL December 2004 for the Leaf River Pascagoula River Basin Forrest and Perry Counties, Mississippi Prepared By Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality Office of Pollution Control TMDL/WLA Branch MDEQ PO Box 10385 Jackson, MS 39289-0385 (601) 961-5171 www.deq.state.ms.us ______________________________________________________Fecal Coliform TMDL for Leaf River FOREWORD This report has been prepared in accordance with the schedule contained within the federal consent decree dated December 22, 1998. The report contains one or more Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for waterbody segments found on Mississippi’s 1996 Section 303(d) List of Impaired Waterbodies. Because of the accelerated schedule required by the consent decree, many of these TMDLs have been prepared out of sequence with the State’s rotating basin approach. The implementation of the TMDLs contained herein will be prioritized within Mississippi’s rotating basin approach. The amount and quality of the data on which this report is based are limited. As additional information becomes available, the TMDLs may be updated. Such additional information may include water quality and quantity data, changes in pollutant loadings, or changes in landuse within the watershed. In some cases, additional water quality data may indicate that no impairment exists.

  • Location of Thermal Refuge for Striped Bass in the Pascagoula River
    Location of Thermal Refuge for Striped Bass in the Pascagoula River Donald C. Jackson1, Eric D. Dibble, and John F. Mareska2 Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Mississippi State University P.O. Box 9690, Mississippi State, MS 39762 We conducted a two-year study (1997–1999) to locate cool water thermal refuge for striped bass Morone saxatilis in the Pascagoula River, its principal tributary streams and associated off-channel environments. Sampling with gill nets (33.2 hours soak time), hoop nets (26,160 hours soak time), electrofishing (39.9 hours pedal time), trotlines (121 lines with 10 hooks each @ 4.6 ± 1.3 hours/line) and angling (99.2 hours) resulted in the capture of only 12 striped bass. Of these, seven were large adult fish that we equipped with radio transmitters and released for telemetry. To increase sample size for the telemetry study, eight adult striped bass from the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (Ocean Springs, Mississippi) and 15 adult striped bass from the Mammoth Springs National Fish Hatchery (Mammoth Springs, Arkansas) were equipped with radio and/or sonic transmitters and released into the system. Data for one of these Mammoth Springs National Fish Hatchery striped bass were lost, thereby resulting in a total sample size of 30 fish. Ninety-five days in 1998 and 99 days in 1999 were spent tracking striped bass by boat. Six days were spent conducting aerial radio telemetry surveys in 1998. Only the Cedar Creek effluent into the Pascagoula River (N 30 41' 58" W 88 37' 56") was confirmed as thermal refuge for striped bass.
