Biological Condition Index Development for the Truckee River Periphyton Assemblage
The objectives of the current activities were to determine if sufficient data was available to derive preliminary periphyton-based metrics that could be used in a periphyton-based indices of ecological condition […]
2015 Truckee River Watershed Tributary Assessment
Detailed assessments of these tributaries were first performed in 2002 to support development of a Watershed Management and Protection Plan. The initial watershed assessments provided a broad range of valuable […]

The University of Nevada Reno (UNR) have been collaborating with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe (PLPT), the Desert Research Institute (DRI), and the Nevada […]
EPA benthic macroinvertebrate sampling method for physical habitat assessment
US EPA Method for determining physical habitat conditions using method for assessments. This method is being used by PLPT in tandem with benthic macroinvertebrate sampling, to further describe the watershed […]
EPA-Funded DRI proposal for a study on Regional Clean Water Activities based in Truckee, Carson, Humboldt Rivers
The scientific focus will involve a suite of laboratory and field-scale activities designed to better understand the effects of natural and human factors on ecological function in western river basins.
Assessment of the Effects of Storm Water Runoff and Background Watershed Conditions on 303(d) listed waters within the Truckee Meadows MS4 Permit Area
The new permit requires the co?permittees to evaluate whether storm water discharges from any part of the MS4 contributes directly or indirectly to the listing of a waterbody on the […]
Benthic Macroinvertebrates Index Development and Physical Habitat Evaluation for Truckee River, Carson River, and Walker River
The Clean Water Act (CWA) has as one of its primary goals the maintenance and restoration of biological integrity. This concept of biological integrity refers to the natural assemblage of […]
Biological Condition Index Development for the Lower Truckee River and Eastern Sierra Nevada Rivers Fish Assemblage
The Deparment of Fisheries and Wildlife developed a fish assemblage IBI for western Nevada rivers and applied it to the Truckee River. Available state and federal fish assemblage data from […]
Oxygenated Fuels Reports 2013-2014
The AQMD implements an oxygenated fuels program to reduce wintertime carbon monoxide emissions from motor vehicles. The following annual reports summarize the results of the program.
Exceptional Air Quality Events
Reports are prepared whenever the AQMD formally requests the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to exclude data from exceptional events like wildfires from data that is used to determine mitigation strategies […]
