SUMMARY

In July and August 1999, composite periphyton samples were
collected from natural substrates in Careless Creek, Lodgepole
Creek, and the South Fork of Lodgepole Creek in the middle and
lower Musselshell River drainage of central Montana. Samples
were collected following MDEQ standard operating procedures,
processed and analyzed using standard methods for periphyton, and
evaluated following modified USEPA rapid bioassessment protocols
for wadeable streams.

Diatom metrics indicated that Careless Creek fully supports
its aquatic life uses when compared to biocriteria for prairie
streams. A case may be made, however, based on algal floristics,
that lower Careless Creek is transitional between cold and warm
water aquatic life, and would b'e more appropriately classified as
B-2 rather than C-3. If such were the case, diatom metrics for
Careless Creek would be compared to biocriteria for mountain
streams and this comparison would indicate moderate impairment
from siltation and only partial support of designated uses.

Diatom metrics at the site near the mouth of Lodgepole Creek
indicated moderate impairment and only partial support of aquatic
life uses due to siltation, organic loading, and nutrient
enrichment. Nitrogen is the likely nutrient of concern in
Lodgepole Creek.

The South Fork of Lodgepole Creek had low diatom diversity
and species richness for a prairie stream, resulting in a rating
of moderate impairment and partial support of aquatic life uses.
The low diversity was due mainly to the unusually large numbers
of Achnanthes rninutissima at this site. The abundance of this
species here and the presence of other cool -water and pollution
sensitive algal taxa, indicate that the stress operating in the
South Fork may be natural rather than cultural in origin.

INTRODUCTION

This report evaluates the support of aquatic life uses, and
probable causes of impaiirment to those uses, in Careless Creek,
Lodgepole Creek, and the South Fork of Lodgepole Creek in the
Musselshell River basin of central Montana. This evaluation is
part of a larger assessment that was conducted by staff of the
Natural Resources Conservation Service, USDA, and the Montana
Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) .

Evaluation of use support in this report is based on the
species composition and structure of periphyton (phytobenthos ,
benthic algae) communities at 3 sites, one on each stream, that
were sampled in July and August of 1999. The periphyton
community is a basic biological' component of all aquatic
ecosystems. Periphyton accounts for much of the primary
production and biological diversity in Montana streams (Bahls et
al . 1992) .

Plafkin et al . (1989) and Stevenson and Bahls (1999) list
several advantages of using periphyton in biological assessments
of streams:

• Algae are universally present in large numbers in all
streams and unimpaired periphyton assemblages typically
support a large number (>30) of species;

• Algae have rapid reproduction rates and short life cycles,
making them useful indicators of short-term impacts,-

• As primary producers, algae are most directly affected by
physical and chemical factors, such as temperature,
nutrients, and toxins;

• Sampling is quick, easy and inexpensive,, and causes minimal
damage to resident biota and their habitat;

• Standard methods and criteria exist for evaluating the
composition, structure, and biomass of algal associations;

• Identification co species is straightforward for the
diatoms, far which there is a large body of taxonomic and
ecological literature;

• Excessive algae growth in streams is often correctly
perceived as a problem by the public.

• Periphyton and other biological communities reflect the
biological integrity- of waterbodies ; restoring and
maintaining the biological integrity of waterbodies is a
goal of the federal Clean Water Act;

• Periphyton and other biological communities integrate the
effects of different stressors and provide a measure of
their aggregate impact; and

•

Periphyton and other biological communities may be the only
practical means of evaluating impacts from non-point sources
of pollution where specific ambient criteria do not exist
(e.g., impacts that degrade habitat or increase nutrients).

Periphyton is a diverse assortm.ent of simple photosynthetic
organisms called algae, and other microorganisms that live
attached to or in close proximity of the stream bottom. Most
algae, such as the diatoms, are microscopic. Diatoms are
distinguished by having a cell wall composed of opaline glass- -
hydrated amorphous silica. Diatoms often carpet a stream bottom
with a slippery brown film.

Some algae, such as the filamentous greens, are conspicuous
and their excessive growth may be aesthetically displeasing,
deplete dissolved oxygen, interfere with fishing and fish
spawning, clog irrigation intakes, create tastes and odors in
drinking water, and cause other problems.

The federal Clean Water Act directs states to develop water

• Biological integrity is defined as "the ability of an
aquatic ecosystem to support and maintain a balanced, integrated,
adaptive community of organisms having a species composition,
diversity, and functional organization comparable to that of
natural habitats within a region" {Karr and Dudley 1981) .

pollution control plans (Total Maximum Daily Loads or TMDLs) that
set limits on pollution loading to water-quality limited" waters .
Water-quality limited waters are lakes and stream segments that
do not meet water-quality standards, that is, that do not fully
support their beneficial uses. The Clean Water Act and EPA
regulations require each state to (1) identify waters that are
water-quality limited, (2) prioritize and target waters for
TMDLs, and (3) develop TMDL plans to attain and maintain water-
quality standards for all water-quality limited waters.

The purpose of this report is to provide information that
will help the State of Montana to determine whether Careless
Creek, Lodgepole Creek, and the South Fork of Lodgepole Creek are
water-quality limited and in need of TMDLs.

PROJECT AREA AND SAMPLING SITES

The project area is located in the middle and lower
Musselshell River drainage of central Montana. Careless Creek
heads in the Big Snowy Mountains and flows southeasterly for
about 30 miles to where it enters the Musselshell River east of
Ryegate in Golden Valley County. Lodgepole Creek heads in
western Garfield County and enters the Musselshell River just
before its confluence with the Missouri River.

The project area is located in the Northwestern Great Plains
Ecoregion, although the headwaters of Careless Creek are in the
Middle Rockies Ecoregion (Omernik and Gallant 1987) . The surface
geology of the Careless Creek and Lodgepole Creek watersheds
consists primarily of marine shales, sandstones, and siltstones
of the Montana Group (Taylor and Ashley, undated) .

Vegetation along lower Careless Creek and in the upper
Lodgepole Creek watershed is mixed grassland; river breaks along

lower Lodgepole Creek are dominated by an overstory of ponderosa
pine and Rocky Mountain juniper (USDA 1976) . The main land use
in both watersheds is livestock grazing, although water quality
in lower Careless Creek is also affected by releases of water
from Deadman's Basin Reservoir, an off -stream irrigation water
storage reservoir.

Periphyton samples were collected at one site each on
Careless Creek, Lodgepole Creek, and the South Fork of Lodgepole
Creek in July and August 1999 (Table 1; maps) . Elevations at the
sampling sites range from 3,600 feet near the mouth of Careless
Creek to 2,850 feet on the South Fork of Lodgepole Creek, to
2,300 feet near the mouth of Lodgepole Creek. All three sites
are classified C-3 in the Montana Surface Water Quality
Standards, although Deadman's Basin Reservoir and Careless Creek
above Swimming Woman Creek are "classified B-1. Both of these
waters are immediately upstream from the reach containing the
Careless Creek sampling site.

METHODS

Periphyton samples were collected following standard
operating procedures of the MDEQ Planning, Prevention, and
Assistance Division. Using appropriate tools, microalgae were
scraped, brushed, or sucked from natural substrates in proportion
to the rank of those substrates at the study site. Macroalgae
were picked by hand in proportion to their abundance at the site.
All collections of microalgae and macroalgae were pooled into a
common container and preserved with Lugol ' s solution.

The sample from Careless Creek was collected by Carole
Mackin, MDEQ. The samples from Lodgepole Creek and the South
Fork of Lodgepole Creek were collected by Warren PCellogg, NRCS .

Samples were examined to estimate the relative abundance and
rank by biovolume of diatoms and genera of soft (non-diatom)
algae according to the method described in Bahls (1993) . Soft
algae were identified using Dillard (1999) , Prescott (1978) ,
Smith (1950) , and Whitford and Schumacher (1984) . These books
also served as references on the ecology of the soft algae.

After the identification of soft algae, raw periphyton
samples were cleaned of organic matter using sulfuric acid, and
permanent diatom slides were prepared in a high refractive index
mounting medium following Standard Methods for the Examination of
Water and Wastewater (APHA 1998) . For each slide, between 457
and 483 diatom cells (914 to 966 valves) were counted at random
and identified to species. The following were used as the main
taxonomic and autecological references for the diatoms : Krammer
and Lange-Bertalot 1986, 1988, •1991a, 1991b; Patrick and Reimer
1966, 1975.

Lowe (1974) was also used as an ecological reference for the
diatoms. Eahls et al . (1984) provide, autecological information
on important diatom species that live in the Southern Fort Union
Coal Region of eastern Montana, including many of the diatom
species in Careless Creek and Lodgepole Creek.

The diatom proportional counts were used to generate an
array of diatom association metrics (Table 2) . A metric is a
characteristic of the biota that changes in some predictable way
with increased human influence (Barbour et al . 1999) .

One additional metric was calculated for this study:
percent of all diatom cells in the family Epithemiaceae . This
family is represented in streams by two genera, Epithemia and
Rhopalodia, that harbor endosymbiotic nitrogen- fixing bluegreen
algae (cyanobacteria) within their cells. A diatom association
that contains a large percentage of cells in these genera may

indicate nitrogen-limiting conditions, that is, low nitrogen to
"phosphorus ratios (Stevenson and Pan 1999) .

Metric values from study sites were compared to numeric
biocriteria developed for streams in the Great Plains Ecoregions
of Montana (Table 3) using Protocol I in Bahls (1993) . These
criteria are based on metric values measured in least-impaired
reference streams (Bahls et al . 1992) and on metric values
measured in streams that are known to be impaired by various
sources, causes, and degrees of pollution (Bahls 1993).

The criteria in Table 3 distinguish among four levels of
impairment and three levels of aquatic life use support: no
impairment or only minor impairment (full support); moderate
impairment (partial support) ; and severe impairment (nonsupport) .
These impairment levels correspond to excellent, good, fair, and
poor biological integrity, respectively.

Protocol II (Bahls 1993) is based on the percentage of
change in metric values at study sites when compared to values
measured at an upstream, control site. Protocol II may be used on
relatively short segments of stream where an upstream control
site fully supports its aquatic life uses, that is, where it has
a rating of "good" or "excellent" biological integrity using
Protocol I. Protocol II could not be applied to Careless Creek
because a sample was not collected from an upstream control site,-
it could not be applied in Lodgepole Creek because both sites in
this drainage suffered moderate impairment under Protocol I.

For Protocol I, only periphyton samples collected in summer
(June 21-September 21) can be compared with confidence to
reference stream samples because metric values change seasonally
and summer is the season in which reference streams and impaired
streams were sampled for the purpose of biocriteria development.
(Protocol II can be used at any time of the year.)

Quality Assurance. Several steps were taken to assure that
the study results are accurate and reproducible. Upon receipt of
the samples, station and sample information were recorded in a
laboratory notebook and samples were assigned a unique number
compatible with the Montana Diatom Database, e.g., 0379-04. The
first part of this number (0379) designates the sampling site
(Careless Creek near mouth) ,■ the second part of the number (04)
designates the number of periphyton samples that have been
collected at this site to date for v;hich data have been entered
into the Montana Diatom Database.

Sample observations and analyses of soft (non-diatom) algae
were recorded in a lab notebook along with station and sample
information provided by MDEQ . A portion of the raw sample was
used to make duplicate diatom slides.

On completion of the project, station information, sample
information, and diatom proportional count data will be entered
into the Montana Diatom Database. One set of diatom slides will
be deposited in the University of Montana Herbarium in Missoula.
The other set of slides will be retained by Hannaea in Helena.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Results are presented in Tables 4 and 5 located near the end
of this report following the Literature Cited section.
Spreadsheets containing completed diatom proportional counts,
with species pollution tolerance classes (PTC) and calculated
percent abundances, are attached as Appendix A.

SAMPLE NOTES

Careless Creek. This sample was very silty. The sample
also contained macrophytes . Trichomes of Phorrnidium in this
sample were very narrow.

Lodgepole Creek. This sample was silty and contained
sections of macrophyte stems and leaves. This sample also
contained a species of Phormidium with very narrow trichomes.

South Fork Lodgepole Creek. The Chaetophora in this sample
had long setae and compact colonies, which distinguished it from
Stigeoclonium. This sample contained a species of Oscillatoria
with narrow trichomes.

NON-DIATOM ALGAE

Careless Creek

The dominant alga in Careless Creek was Cladophora, a
branched filamentous green that prefers cool, nutrient-rich,
flowing waters. Also common here, besides diatoms, were two
genera of cyanobacteria : Calothrix and Phormidium (Table 4).

LodQepole Creek

Lodgepole Creek and the South Fork of Lodgepole Creek both
supported a rich variety of green, blue-green, and euglenoid
algae, besides diatoms (Table 4) . The green macroalga Chara
dominated the flora of Lodgepole Creek, while the unbranched
filamentous green Spirogyra was most abundant in the South Fork,
where Chara ranked second in abundance .

Chara prefers soft-bottom, low-gradient, hardwater streams.
Spirogyra, along with Anajbaeria and Euglena, which were found in
both streams, may indicate elevated concentrations of nutrients.
The presence of Chaetophora and Cladophora in the South Fork
(Table 4) indicates cool water temperatures relative to main
Lodgepole Creek, where these genera were absent.

DIATOMS

Careless Creek

Careless Creek supported a rich diversity of diatom species
(Table 5). Nevertheless, the dominant diatom here was the
pollution-tolerant species Navicula durrenbergiana, which has
been reported from brackish to saline waters in Europe and Israel
(Krammer and Lange-Bertalot 1986) . In the Southern Fort Union

Coal Region of Montana, this species (misidentif ied as Navicula
pavillardii) prefers brackish, sodium sulfate waters, water
temperatures between 21 and 3 0''C, coarse sand substrates, and pH
values greater than 8.10; it also tolerates some suspended
sediment, turbidity, and chloride (Bahls et al . 1984).

The relative abundance of Navicula durrenbergiana and other
pollution tolerant diatoms in Careless Creek resulted in a
marginal pollution index that indicated minor impairment but
still full support of aquatic life uses (Table 5) .

The relative abundance of diatoms in the genera Navicula and
Nitzschia resulted in a siltation index value of 45.14 (Table 5) .
This is a normal but marginal value for least -impaired prairie
streams. Careless Creek is classified C-3 at the sampling site,
but it is classified B-l about -10 miles upstream from this point,
above its confluence with Swimming Woman Creek (Montana Surface
Water Quality Standards 1994) . Careless Creek near its mouth has
elements of both a cold-water and a warm-water flora, indicating
that the stream here might be more appropritatelay classified as
B-2. If such were the case, the siltation index would indicate
moderate impairment and only partial support of aquatic life.

Careless Creek supported a modest number of cells in the
diatom family Epithemiaceae , and the largest relative abundance
of diatoms in this family of the three streams addressed in this
report (Table 5) . This would indicate that, of the three
streams, nitrogen would more likely be the limiting nutrient in
Careless Creek than in the other two streams.

Lodqepole Creek

Diatom diversity and species richness in Lodgepole Creek
were excellent, but a large percentage of pollution tolerant
diatoms and a large percentage of diatoms in the genera Navicula

10

and Nitzschia resulted in pollution and siltation index values
that indicated moderate impairment and only partial support of
aquatic life uses (Table 5) .

Nitzschia frusculum was the dominant diatom in Lodgepole
Creek. This species is widely distributed in eastern Montana and
was the most common diatom in the Southern Fort Union Coal
Region, where it tolerates large amounts of suspended sediment
and turbidity, although it does best at smaller concentrations
(Bahls et al . 1984) .

The other major diatom species near the mouth of Lodgepole
Creek was Nitzschia palea (Table 5) . N. palea is a facultative
nitrogen heterotroph and, in large numbers, a good indicator of
elevated concentrations of organic nitrogen. In the Southern
Fort Union Region, this diatom "prefered fresh to brackish and
very hard to extremely hard waters,- it was also indifferent to
moderate amounts of suspended sediment, turbidity, and chloride
(Bahls et al . 1984) .

South Fork Lodcrepole Creek

The South Fork of Lodgepole Creek had very low diatom
diversity and species richness for a prairie stream (Table 5) .
These low values resulted in a rating of moderate impairment and
partial support of aquatic life uses.

The low diversity in the South Fork was due in part to the
unusual abundance of the pollution sensitive species Achnanthes
winutissima (Table 5) . Although often abundant in mountain
streams, A. minutissiwa rarely accounts for more than a few
percent of the diatom cells in prairie streams. Its abundance in
the South Fork is another indicator of the cool water
temperatures that evidently prevailed in this stream prior to
sampling. This indicates that at least a portion of the stress

11

that caused the low diversity in the South Fork was natural,
rather than cultural, in origin.

Besides Nitzschia frustulum, the other major diatom in the
South Fork of Lodgepole Creek was Synedra famelica (Table 5) . In
the Southern Fort Union Coal Region of Montana, this diatom
prefers brackish, extremely hard waters with large concentrations
of sulfate and small amounts of suspended sediment and turbidity
(Bahls et al . 1984) . Overall, the major diatoms in the South
Fork of Lodgepole Creek indicate cool, clear waters of moderate
conductivity and low levels of suspended sediment and siltation.
