I've currently been asked to evaluate the potential thermal impacts to a coldwater creek receiving sewage effluent (mixed with groundwater) from a subsurface sewage disposal system (i.e., septic/tile bed effluent). Does anybody have any references that I could look up that addresses this issue? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks
