"SJRA Releases Third Part of Sedimentation Study: Findings Show Streambank Erosion as Primary Source of Sediment, Lead Levels Found in East Fork"
The San Jacinto River Authority (SJRA) has released the third part of its sedimentation study, which focuses on quantifying sediment supply and storage volumes in three representative subwatersheds. The study found that sediment appears to be primarily originating from eroding streambanks, but did not directly examine the contributions of clear cutting, construction practices, and sand mining to sedimentation. Additionally, the study did not include the West Fork San Jacinto River as a sampling site, which has the largest concentration of sand mines in the region.
