Status • Monthly sampling started in Oct. 04 • The stations were upgraded to primary as of Oct. 05 • Two storm samples were collected during the fall of 05: • 10/11/05 (17.1 mm of rain) • 11/22/205 (36.1 mm of rain) • Storm samples are sent to the USGS Kentucky lab for suspended sediment/sand-fine particle analysis

  5. Nutrients Total Phosphorus Soluble Ortho-phosphorus Total Nitrogen Ammonia Nitrogen Nitrite+Nitrate N Carbon and Organics Total Organic Carbon Dissolved Organic Carbon Chlorophyll-a BOD5, N-Inhib (CBOD) BOD20, N-Inhib (CBOD) General Chemistry Dissolved oxygen Total Suspended Solids Alkalinity Chloride Hardness pH Conductivity Salinity Temperature Secchi Depth Turbidity Bacteria Enterococcus The following parameters are analyzedat DNREC lab (or measured in the field)

  6. Sampling Methods, Funding, etc. • June 05 sampling and laboratory methods are followed. • DE should be able to continue to fund sample collection and analysis at the above two sites during FY 07(using State funds) • CBP funding is needed for continuing operation of the USGS gage at Marshyhope Creek.
