Going to the Next Level • Level 2 Credible Data lab with OEPA • QUAP—Quality Assurance Program • QHEIs / QHEI training
Data! • Nitrates—excess from row crops • Total Phosphorous—excess from WWTP, row crops soil erosion. • pH—elevated by algal photosynthesis • Conductivity—elevated by WWTPs & septic systems • Turbidity-elevated by runoff erosion from row crops and construction sites. • Fecal Coliforms—elevated by human and animal feces.
