I don't know about the Skok, but I have collected fecal samples on the Satsop for 1 1/2 years on a monthly basis, and can talk about it. DOE wants the fecal count to be reduced by 29% to reach a target goal of 95 colonies per 100 ml. The last time they tested was in 1993, since then I know of 11 1/2 miles of fencing that was installed and the only dairy closed in 1997.
Our tests showed that from Dec. through April the surface water count was in the teens some even at well quality, and this was when the river was open to fishing. Our highest counts came from timber/wildlife.
After our study DOE ran our numbers and states that the numbers show a reduction from their estimates of 75%.
This was just FYI.
