The Hermit’s Peak–Calf Canyon gigafire generated water quality disturbances associated with increased suspended sediment discharges and turbidities compared to historical values. All samples are from Gallinas Creek near Montezuma, P226, located 26 km downstream from the headwaters of Gallinas Creek, near the burn perimeter and the intake of the water treatment plant of the city of Las Vegas, NM.
