Box-WhiskerDiagrams What are they? Min/Max Value Min/Max Value Box Median – Middle Value Whiskers 50% 25% 25% Probability Density Graph (“Bell Curve”)
Box-Whisker Diagrams What Can We Use Them For? A – A “Good” System. Box and whiskers are short and compact. B – A “Bad” System. Results are all over the place. Box and whiskers are stretched out. C – A “Consistently Bad” System. Compact but well above TN limit (19 mg/l) D – A “Usually Pretty Good” System. Compact but maybe a couple of high results. A B C D

Keeping Track of it All… Sample Reports Messages Amount of the Exceedance Exceedance Percentage Exceeding Parameter Number of Consecutive Exceedances 25.83 mg/L > 19mg/L(36%) for Total Nitrogen 1 Consecutive 4 Non-Consecutive (25.83,8.54,43.4,29.35,24.1) Number of Non-Consecutive Exceedances Results from the Last Five Samples
Keeping Track of it All… “Cleaned Up” Sample Exceedance Report • Exceedance reports will be delivered semi-annually. • BOH will decide what action to take, since each BOH will likely have a different policy.
