Land management activities can result in the delivery of fine sediment to
streams. Over time, such delivery can lead to cumulative impacts to the
aquatic ecosystem. Because numerous laws require Federal land managers to
analyze watershed cumulative effects, field personnel need simple monitoring
procedures that can be used directly and consistently. One approach to such
monitoring is described. The approach accommodates reference (unimpacted) and
study (impacted) reaches so that impact comparisons can be made.
