Ammonia = 0.25 mg/kg
Phosphate < 0.25 mg/kg
Extremely heavy rain 2 days previous (Aug. 13) may have affected water chemistry.
Trace of ammonia detected at the estimated MDL of 0.25 mg/kg.
No detectable phosphate (MDL estimated as 0.25 mg/kg)
Ammonia detected at the estimated MDL of 0.25 mg/kg/
No detectable phosphate.
One American bullfrog observed.
Trace of ammonia detected right at the MDL of approximately 0.25 mg/kg.
No detectable phosphate (estimated MDL approximately 0.25 mg/kg.
No detectable ammonia (MDL approximately 0.25 mg/kg)
No detectable phosphate (MDL approximately 0.25 mg/kg)
Ammonia not detectable (MDL estimated as 0.25 ppm).
Phosphate not detectable (MDL estimated as 0.25 ppm).
Increase in conductivity from previous week may be due to road salting on Thursday because of a late winter snowfall.
No detectable ammonia (MDL estimated as 0.25 mg/kg)
2 brook trout observed in Pringle Creek. Several minnows and 1 crayfish also observed.
Water was quite clear at time of sample. Sample point is in an urban environment so high conductivity may be due to road salt having been washed in with storm water runoff. If so, conductivity should progressively drop as the spring progresses.
