Catalpa Creek

Very high DO content may be caused by aquatic vegetation growing on stream bed right under where I sampled.

It was pretty cold when I first arrived (1C) but warmed up over the course of testing. I observed some algae or other aquatic plant growing along the bottom of the creek. I could not find the “other coliforms” entry, so the average was 2800 cfus/100ml, and total coliforms was 5400cfus/100ml

I know the datasheet says -4 air temp, but I remember where the line was on the thermometer, and I read it wrong. For some reason I read -1 as -4 .

Lots of orange, white, and yellow colonies too

Forgot to take site pictures; chemistry only
