Pleasant Vally Rd. La Passe, ON : Ottawa River Tributary

Performed lab analysis of samples taken 02/04/2017. Performed tests for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Ammonia using a Hach DR3900 (TSS followed the photometric method and Ammonia was analyzed using the salicylate method).

Results:
TSS: 48 mg/L
Ammonia: 0.3 mg/L

Discussion:
The results indicate that between this sample site and the sample site located 800 meters downstream there is an increase in both ammonia and TSS (a significant increase in TSS, over double the amount) as the stream flows through the farm. Ongoing monitoring and data collection will continue.
