A dataset that contains estimates of Total Suspended Sediment (TSS), the error, i.e. standard deviation (TSS_error), the exceedance probabilities that correspond to thresholds of 837 mg/L and 2204 mg/L, respectively for each polygon or reach contributing area (RCA). These thresholds were determined from Bartley et al. (2012). The TSS estimates, error and exceedance probabilities were derived from the model developed and described in Gladish et al. (2016).
