Water Quality                   

The Department is currently compiling existing water quality data from a variety of sources for the Feather River upstream and downstream from the reservoir, Lake Oroville, Thermalito Forebay, and Thermalito Afterbay.  Data from inorganic and organic chemical analyses, physical characteristics (such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen, etc.), biological characteristics (macroinvertebrates, pathogens, etc.) will be reviewed and incorporated into the initial scoping document.  DWR staff person Jerry Boles, Environmental Specialist IV (Supervisor), is responsible for this task.
