| Water Quality Data | Water samples were collected from 38 sites within the watershed: 8 on Blacks Creek, 12 on North Branch, 5 on Seaton Creek, and 13 on Slippery Rock Creek. The samples from two of the sites (both on Slippery Rock Creek) were tested for fecal coliform only. The other samples were tested for 14 parameters: total Aluminum, dissolved Aluminum, Iron, Manganese, Nitrates, Sulfate, pH, acidity, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, specific conductance, total hardness, turbidity, and fecal coliform. Samples were collected once a month for a year. The data will be available on DataShed in the near future. |
