| Abstract/Contents: | "Levels of sediment contamination from nonpoint source urban runoff often exceeds that of point source discharges...Nonpoint source runoff is frequently regarded as a low-level and less intense , though more widespread type of contamination. Benthic macroinvertebrates are particularly useful in evaluating the presence of this type of low-level chronic contamination because of their relatively limited mobility and sufficiently long life span (some up to a year more)...Difficulties in biomonitoring studies can arise from the need to use a sparate unimpacted community for comparison. Finding two discrete systems with the same biotic and abiotic characteristics can prove difficult. Studies are often conducted in two systems that appear superficially similar but have subtle and important differences. This procedure can produce variation not attributable to the impact of the contaminant. Studying a lake with two distinct basins provides an opportunity to examine the impact of two types of runoff on a single benthic community. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether residential urban runoff influences the benthic macroinvertebrate community." |
