Abstract:

River Banks along the Upper Clark Fork where the University of Montana Riparian and Wetlands Research Program field crews determined that lateral cutting had occurred during the year the data was collected.

These data were formerly available from the Montana State Library web site but were removed because they are potentially out of date. Please contact the Federal Superfund Bureau of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality if you want these data so they may tell you if newer or better data are available. If the data are not available from the Department of Environmental Quality, you may request a copy from the Montana State Library data archive.

Data Quality Information:

Completeness report:

Only lateral bank cutting that was visible to field workers is included. Survey was taken from rafts along the entire length of the river, and from the ground wherever the crews could get permission to enter the property. Only about half of the property along the river was entered. Banks are included twice if lateral cutting was observed by both the ground crews and the raft crews. Where there is double coverage, differences in the presence and extent of lateral cutting reflect the effects of different observers, vantage points, and sampling conditions.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:

Potential accuracy of the 1:4800 scale field maps is 2 meters, but the tailings extents were drawn on the maps by ocular estimation of the fieldworkers.
