Abstract

A survey of the status of instream biota of Pencil Pine Creek, Cradle Valley, is conducted annually to monitor the effects of discharge of wastewater from the Cradle Valley wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), collection and discharge system (Figure 1) which releases treated water to Pencil Pine Creek.

This document describes the approach, methods and results of the stream biota survey conducted in each of spring (November) 2012 and summer (February) 2013. The survey collects data to assess the status and condition of instream biota – benthic macroinvertebrates and aquatic algae – at sites adjacent to and downstream of the Cradle Valley WWTP discharge point in Pencil Pine Creek (i.e. receiving water sites)
