Groundwater and Surface Water Characterization for the Restoration of Native Vegetation
on the Lower Gila River for the Rio Salado Project
Introduction and Background
Arizona’s Rio Reimagined is an expansion of the Rio Salado Project along the Salt River, and is
a civic restoration project championed by the late Senator John McCain. The project goals are to
improve quality of life in the Phoenix Valley by enhancing environmental quality, building
cultural identity, restoring wildlife habitat, and providing an economic catalyst with an iconic
greenway through the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Rio Reimagined project's geographic span
is a 58-mile stretch of the Rio Salado (Salt River) from Granite Reef Dam to State Route 85
including the Rio Salado and Gila Rivers, Currently, salt cedar occupies approximately 23,000
acres within the 36-mile reach of the Gila River (located between 91st Ave, the Agua Fria/Gila
River confluence, State Route 85 Bridge down to Gillespie Dam), Salt cedar, a deciduous woody
shrub (Tamarix spp.) was introduced into the United States in the 1820's for its ornamental
characteristics and later used for stream bank stabilization. In southwester rivers and streams
that have significantly altered hydrologic regimes, salt cedar thrives and usually becomes the
dominant vegetation species,
Once salt cedar colonizes an area, it becomes dense and alters the landscape by intensifying
flooding and providing increased fuel loads for fire (fig. 1A-B). Salt cedar leaves lose water and
ignite faster when heat is applied as compared to species like cottonwood and willow. Dense
thickets of salt cedar increase fire intensity and the frequency of fire within a system. ‘The dense

thickets limit sunlight to the understory, secrete salts Gmpacting the soil nutrients), and can use
high amounts of water (making water less available to native vegetation), all changing the native
communities by limiting native species to germinate and recruit. Wildlife habitat quality is
diminished for many species, including fish and avian species,

The mission of the Flood Control! District (FCD) of Maricopa County is to help reduce the risk of
flooding to the public and their property, In support of efforts to reduce the recently re-delineated
floodplain along the Gila River, FCD prepared the E] Rio Vegetation Management Plan (Plan).
The Plan was developed to identify areas to remove salt cedar and revegetate with native riparian
and upland plant species (i.e., vegetation management). Removing:salt cedar from the river
corridor and replacing it with native vegetation will help prevent-salt cedar from growing back
and may reduce the extent of the floodplain (fig. 1C-D). Removal will also help to improve
ecosystem function, which in turn should improve water quality.
The FCD currently has two vegetation management pilot projects within the Gila River. In the
future, additional vegetation management projects along the Gila River may be implemented. by
other government entities or private property owners. To better identify areas for vegetation
management, especially to determine the types of native vegetation the area will support, it’s
important to understand the current salinity conditions and how they change with season,
hydrologic conditions, and management practices. In addition to understanding the water quality
conditions, the fluctuations in groundwater elevation as well as the surface water availability is
important to successfully reintroduce native riparian vegetation.
Problem Statement
The survivability of cottonwoods, willows, and desert shrubs is dependent upon soil and water
characteristics, Background water quality and quantity data are lacking within the lower Gila
River. Monitoring and water quality sampling activities will provide temporal and spatial
information that can be used in optimizing the timing and location of planting native vegetation.
Potential management solutions in salinity mitigation are possible and the effects of such
management actions can be quantified by monitoring before and post action to assess the success
or adjust for future strategies. Data are needed in order to characterize how the water quality of
surface water and shallow groundwater varies in space and time the western reach of
throughout
the Rio Reimagined project area.
Objectives and Scope
The objective of this study is to provide water-quality information, gain an understanding of
surface and groundwater interactions, and quantify salinity through water sampling and
continuous monitoring of specific conductance, surface water, and shallow groundwater level
fluctuations. The plan is to provide water quality information related to salt cedar removal and
native plant revegetation within the floodway along a 10-mile segment of the Lower Gila River
that has been identified as potential habitat for important avian species like the Yuma Ridgway's
Rail (Rallus obsoletus yumanensis) (fig. 1E). This reach includes the Gila River reach upstream
of the confluence with the Waterman Wash to downstream of the State Route 85 bridge.
This activity includes drilling operations of shallow wells, installation of instrumentation for .
continuous monitoring of water level and specific conductance, and the collection of discrete
water-quality samples from both surface-water and groundwater sources. Results from these
activities will provide the FCD and other entities with the salinity and shallow groundwater
information necessary for effective flood plain and vegetation-management that will in turn
benefit riparian corridor restoration and improve biodiversity and water quality,

DocuSign Envelope 1D: 66FC3056-BBA4-4418-96FF-4BB35SC3F DEB
Relevance and Benefits
Over 80 percent of the wildlife species in the West are dependent upon riparian areas for part of
their life cycle (Chaney and others, 1990). The removal of non-native, invasive salt cedar trees
from the river and the reintroduction of native vegetation will enhance wildlife habitat areas and
contribute to the reparation of the damaged ecosystem. This will ostensibly create water quality
improvement through creation of wetlands and open flow channels. Establishing and quantifying
the relation between ecosystem restoration and water quality will help to create a process for
future management strategies.
The data collection and monitoring activities will provide the FCD and other entities with
information needed to adjust vegetation restoration approaches. The characterization of salinity in
surface water and shallow groundwater will allow FCD and other entities conducting vegetation
management to improve planting techniques, channel design, and salinity mitigation practices to
control the resurgence of salt cedar,
This study directly contributes to the USGS Water Science Strategy goal to “provide society the
information it needs regarding the amount and quality of water in all components of the water
cycle at high temporal and spatial resolution,” with the specific objective of advancing
hydrologic monitoring networks and techniques (Evenson and others, 2013).
Approach
This will be a continuation of Phase | and will include the continuation of drilling shallow
ground water wells and the installation of continuous monitoring sensors at both surface and
ground water sites. In addition, periodic site visits will include collection for water chemistry,
water level measurements, and specific conductance measurements, Tentatively, Phase II will
include continued monitoring and focus on quantifying and explaining spatial and temporal
trends in water quality and levels of the shallow alluvial aquifer in the study area in the Rio
Reimagined floodplain resulting in a peer-reviewed USGS series report or scientific journal
article,
In this second year of Phase I, in close coordination with FCD and collaborators, sites will
continue to be identified forthe installation of shallow groundwater wells. A direct-push drilling
method will be used to install 4 to 6 shallow water table wells, most likely less than 30 feet deep.
The direct-push drilling method uses percussion and the static weight of the drilling truck as the
source of energy to advance the tool through the subsurface. One-inch diameter PVC casing will
be inserted through the drill stem and the drill stem will be removed to set the well at the desired
depth. In-Situ Aqua Troll 200 data loggers will be installed in each well and set to record water
level, pressure, specific conductance, and water temperature every 60 min.
Discrete water-quality samples will be collected twice at more than ten different sites to measure
seasonal variability of surface- and groundwater (fig. 2). Samples will be collected during
varying seasons to represent differing conditions. Groundwater samples will be collected from
each installed well and a few nearby existing shallow wells using a low-flow Geotech Portable
Bladder Pump. Three casing volumes will be pumped or purged, and water quality parameters
monitored (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and specific conductance) to ensure stable
connectivity to the shallow aquifer. Sampling procedures will follow protocols outlined in the
USGS National Field Manual (U.S. Geological Survey, variously dated). Surface-water samples
will be collected from agricultural drains and the Gila River mainstem using protocols described

DocuSign Envelope ID: 66FC3056-BBA4-4418-96F F-4BB359C3FDEB
in the USGS National Field Manual. Samples will be sent to the USGS National Water Quality
Laboratory and water-quality analyses will include major ions, nutrients, residue on evaporation,
dissolved~-solids as a sum of constituents.

Figure 2. Current and prospective sites for continuous water-level and water quality monitoring.
Procedures outlined in the USGS Guidelines and Standard Procedures for Continuous Water-
Quality Monitors will be followed when quarterly site visits are conducted. Sensors will be
serviced, checked, and data will be downloaded along with manual water-level and specific
conductance check measurements. Check measurements will be applied to adjust or correct
continuous sensor data. All corrections will be documented in the USGS AQUARIUS data
management tool.
Quality Assurance Plan
Quality assurance sainples will include one groundwater and/or one surface-water field blank to
measure bias and one replicate sample to measure variability. Meters will be calibrated before
each visit, documented, and saved on a local server. Personnel are trained in USGS field methods
and data collection techniques and participate in annual proficiency testing. Existing information
obtained from other agencies will be reviewed and analyzed for erroneous data.
Data Management Plan
Continuous Data
Criteria from TM 1-D3 (Guidelines and Standard Procedures for Continuous Water Quality
Monitors) will be used to operate and manage the water level (feet below land surface), specific
conductance (micro Siemens per centimeter) and water temperature (degrees Celsius) data at
each site. Hourly data will be collected from each site, analyzed and approved within 150 days of

DocuSign Envelope ID: 66FC3056-BBA4-4418-96F F-4BB358C3F DEB
the previous visit. Within that 150-day period, data will be considered provisional until it is
approved.
Discrete Data
All discrete water-quality data will initially be published as preliminary data once it is released
from the laboratory. Within a practical period of time (approximately 150 days) from when the
data is released, Arizona Water Science Center and USGS policies will be used to review,
approve, and publish the data.
All data will be checked and approved by a USGS specialist, All data will be published online in
USGS’s National Water Information System (NWIS; https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis) or USGS
ScienceBase.
Products
The description of work in this statement defines Phase I objectives, which are focused on data
collection and the establishment of the data-collection network. All results from Phase I data
collection will be published online in USGS’s National Water Information System (N WIS;
https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis). Results will help characterize the current conditions and
provide needed information to managers working on restoration decisions,
Consistent with the USGS Fundamental Science Practices and USGS policy, any USGS data
collected to support the interpretive conclusions of the journal article will be released in publicly
available and approved databases like USGS NWISweb or the ScienceBase database.

For each numbered box checked on the previous page, briefly:
A. Describe the safety concern as itrelates to this project.
Box B. Describe how this safety concem will be addressed, Include training, safety
no. Equipment and other actions that will be required.
C, Estimate costs.
Measuring or Sampling During a Flood: Field personnel will wear PFDs during their
work near the water and will have received water-safety training. Only teams of two or
more will be deployed during flood conditions. For all tethered or cabled equipment or
instruments deployed in the water during flood conditions field personnel will have
cable cutters for emergency release, Enhanced check-in procedures will be followed by
all personnel working during flood conditions, Personnel will wear high-visibility
clothing while working near roads.
Well drilling; coring, augers, hydro-punch, borehole logging: A Geoprobe will be
used to drili shallow piezometer wells. Field personnel will wear all appropriate
personal protective equipment (PPE) for working around heavy equipment,
Electrical Hazards: In order to collect groundwater samples a pump is required to be
used. Depending on the site either a generator or an existing power source will need to
be used. The hazards for this are electrocution, fire/explosion hazard from refueling
generators and breathing hazardous fumes.
To prevent electrocution: All AC electrical circuits must be protected by a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter device, Make sure the electrical cords from generators and power
tools are not allowed to bein contact with water. Do not stand in a wet area while
operating a power equipment.
To prevent fite/explosion hazard from refueling generator: Before refueling generator,
let the generator cool down.
To prevent breathing in hazardous fumes: Make a site assessment. Be aware of
hazardous fumes. Work upwind and in a well-ventilated area.
Lirgonomics: This project potentially requires lifting heavy items such as
pumps/generators associated with groundwater sampling and it also requires lifting
boxes/containers for shipping water samples to Labs. Improper lifting can cause
back/muscle strain, Proper lifting techniques will be used when accomplishing these
tasks. No cost.
Field Vehicle: To access water sampling sites, a field vehicle will need to be used. If the
water quality camper is used, items will be securely and properly stored to prevent
movement of the items. Caution will be used when opening the camper door. If other
field vehicles are used, cargo restraints/ safety shield will be used to prevent items from
being sent to the front of the vehicle in the event of an accident. All employees will be
current on their defensive driving training requirement. Vehicles will undergo an annual
vehicle inspection by a trained mechanic,
12. Site Access: Employees will research the areas of their sites and contact the property’s
owner if applicable priorto sampling.
13, Cold/Heat Stress: Heat stress is a major concem in southern Arizona. All personnel will
be informed of expected weather conditions before leaving to perform field work and
will also receive training in recognizing signs of heat stroke and/or hypothermia
(included in current First Aid training), Personnel will also be provided with sunscreen
Gf allowable for QW samples) sufficient to offer protection to sun exposure, and when
project funds are available, long-sleeved shirts and hats may be purchased at no cost to
the individual, Cost is minimal.
15. Contaminated Water: This project is collecting water samples in the Tucson Area in
regard to the Superfund site. Employees will wear appropriate gloves to prevent water

DocuSign Envelope ID: 66FC3056-BBA4-44 18-96FF-4BB359C3FDEB
from contacting their skin. This work will also need to be completed in a well-ventilated
area,
17, Laboratory: Sample acidification will need to be completed. The hazards with sample
acidification are chemical burns with skin contact, eye contact, breathing in the fumes,
and chemical reaction, Personnel will need to wear safety goggles and protective gloves
to prevent contact with skin/eyes. If acid splashes in the eyes, flush eyes for 15 minutes
with water and seek medical advice. HCL has high vapor pressure. Always work in a
well-ventilated area and acidify undera chamber bag, These fumes may come into
contact with the perspiration on your skin and rehydrate as acid. If you skin itches, flush
effected area for 15 minutes, Acid may react with high alkaline samples and fizz
(releases CO2), Employees will take the USGS Lab Safety Course and will wear
appropriate PPE.
23, Water Levels and Wells: In order to collect groundwater samples a pump is required
to be used, Depending on the site either a generator or an existing power source will
need to be used, The hazards for this are electrocution, fire/explosion hazard from
refueling generators and breathing hazardous fumes.
To prevent electrocution: All AC electrical circuits must be protected by a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter device. Make sure the electrical cords from generators and power
tools are not allowed to be in contact with water. Do not stand in a wet area while
operating a power equipment.
To prevent fire/explosion hazard from refueling generator: Before refueling generator,
.
let the generator cool down.
To prevent breathing in hazardous fumes: Make a site assessment. Be aware of
hazardous fumes, Work upwind and in a well-ventilated area.
When measuring water levels, personnel will be cautious as to the location of the well to
prevent either tripping or stepping into the well (causing foot/ankle injuries), While
making the measurement, proper PPE will be used when applicable (gloves).
28, Urban Sites: This site is located in an urban area. Sampling at these sites will need to
consist of 2 or more people (either USGS employees or cooperators), Personnel will
need to assess the site for hazards related to urban sites (i.e, Aggravated People,
Homeless, Stray/ urban animals, signs of damage to equipment/shelters, etc.) Staff
should carry a cell phone to the site. If the site has poor cell connection, an InReach or
Spot device should be carried in addition.
