Aquatic Biomonitoring in Bons Pond, and Bons and Buddy
Creeks, 2004 to 2006
Presented by:Bill Morris
AK. Dept. of Natural ResourcesOffice of Habitat Management and Permitting
Introduction
• Baseline Data Collection- Back Dam• 2004 through 2006 (2007)
– Periphyton– Invertebrates– Fish
• Monitor Arctic grayling population– Heavy metals analysis in 2004 (fish also collected ’07)
• Dolly Varden, sampled all years (Buddy Creek)– Heavy metals analysis in all years
– Water Quality• Collected by TCAK – same or proximate sites
Bons Reservoir
Periphyton Sampling

Conclusions
• Peaks in metals observed during break-up– Peaks more obvious in Bons Creek sites– Magnitude of peaks generally low
• Timing of peaks suggests dust related deposition?
• Zinc data suggests possible issue with bypass/collection system
• Metals concentrations not at levels causing observable changes in fish or aquatic organisms
