<br />sulfates, chlorides, dissolved oxygen, residual chlorine, BOD, COD, alkalinities, <br />I\:l <br />tc hardnesses, pH, conductivity, and temper~ture. For precise methodology, see <br />'I <br />r~ Appendix A. <br /> <br />Bacteriological <br /> <br />Samples for bacteriological analysis were collected in autoclaved wide <br /> <br />lOOuth bottles wi~'l a metal screw-on cap. Millipore Filter Company methods and <br /> <br />equipment were used to determine fecal coliform population counts. <br /> <br />Biological <br /> <br />Benthic fauna and algal collections were made a.,a chloropb,yl-a2production <br /> <br />measured. For a methodology, see Appendix B. <br /> <br />AllALYTICAL RESULTS <br /> <br />Chemical <br /> <br />Results of t_~ cberr.Ucal and pbysical analyses from each station are tabulated <br /> <br />separately in Tables 2 - 9. Historic data available for CR-7, CR-16, and CR-22 <br /> <br />were tabulated to sr~w monthly averages and one standard deviation, Tables IO _ 12. <br /> <br />The major change in tbe River during the sampling period was the onset of <br /> <br />runoff in March and April, 1974. Data collected prior to March, when the bulk <br /> <br />of the sampling took place, represents winter conditions of low flows and <br /> <br />temperatures. Data collected in March and April of 1974 represent transitory <br /> <br />conditions leading to the hiqb water period of :>fay and JUne. Stream flow data <br /> <br />supplied by t.;e U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) show flows increasing in late <br /> <br />Marc.~ and t.~e first of April (see Table 13). <br /> <br />2 A sugar prodi.:cir.g plant pigment. <br /> <br />-9- <br />
