The Enterococci data is now ready from this last Saturday's South River Federation's 7th Annual Snapshot.
On Friday the short rain event was only 0.38 inches of rain, but even with that small amount there were some spikes of bacteria in our watershed. For a single sampling event the criteria is 104 cfu/100ml (colony forming units/100milliliters). Therefore in the map above, anything in orange or red is higher than the State of Maryland's limit.
Thanks to our great volunteers I am now going back through the past 7 years of data and preparing a 'trend" analysis to find why our hot spot are HOT. One stations is HIL 1, this is located in the Hillsmere community and is consistently high every year- now that we have the data to prove that there is a problem (thanks to our volunteers)- We can see what we can do to fix the issues.---Diana
