Twin Forks Playground test site : Junction Creek

We sampled at the usual location (same as last month), taking all required parameters without issue. The creek was flowing somewhat higher and faster due to recent rainfall, but this did not pose a problem for us. This time, we were able to use the repaired sampling pole without breaking it. Like last month we removed batteries from the conductivity meter after sampling, and put them in the waterproof phone case within the kit. It should also be noted that the dissolved oxygen standards – those built into the comparison chart in the kit – apparently expired back in February 2022. Water Rangers has been contacted to see how urgent it is to replace these and the best way to dispose of them.
