Abstract
Our objective is to develop the information
necessary for establishing a regulatory basis for sediment
control. We present sediment data at four USGS monitoring
stations in the Upper Chattahoochee River Watershed. The
data show that TSS is a strong function of discharge. A unique
relationship between TSS and discharge is found for all
stations when the discharge is normalized by its long-term
mean. With this regional relationship, we can establish a
baseline for comparing watersheds as a function of discharge.
