1. Be Safe Vaccinations -recommended b) Gloves– wear gloves during sampling, discard gloves inside cooler. • Hepatitis A&B • Tetanus d) Field Gear c) Hand Sanitizer– use after each sample
2. Be PreparedPick a date each month to collect samples a) Order Bottles b) Lab Analysis • Contact Taiga Lab to arrange for analysis • After Hours: 867-444-8378 • from Taiga Lab: • 867-669-2788 • Order at least 3 days in advance (usebottle order form) c) Bottle Transport • Arrange with Air Tindi and Yellowknife courier/taxi to deliver samples and field sheet to Taiga Lab the SAME DAY.
3. Know the Locations • SNP 002-1: Raw water from community well (keep records of monthly quantity used) • SNP 002-2: Sewage effluent discharged from detention pond #3 (1 monthly sample during periods of flow) • SNP 002-3: Lac La Martre River at outflow of the marsh (1 monthly sample during periods of flow) • SNP 002-4: Runoff from domestic solid waste disposal site (1 monthly sample if water is present) • SNP 002-5: Runoff from bulk solid waste disposal site • (1 monthly sample if water is present)
SNP 002-2: Sewage effluent discharged from detention pond #3. If sewage is not present at pond #3, sample at location furthest from truck dump where there is sewage present. 1 monthly sample during periods of flow pH TSS, Ammonia Fecal Coliforms BOD Mercury Oil & Grease
