Abstract
Daily turbidity data from Reservoir # 1 in the Bull Run drainage basin, Oregon, were requested from the Portland Public Records Center (PPRC) to constrain estimates of elevated turbidity durations in Reservoir # 1 following 1) the 1964 flood, 2) the 972 North Fork landslide, (3) the 1996 flood, and 4) the cessation of clearcut harvesting in the Bull Run watershed. These data provide context for interpretations of gravity-cores collected in Reservoir # 1.
