Five of the samples were collected <br />from drinking-water hand pumps located in Forest <br />Service campgrounds and picnic areas. The remaining <br />three samples were collected from surface springs in <br />the study area, Sampling sites are listed in table 5 and <br />shown in figure 5. <br />Water from hand pumps was monitored for <br />water temperature and specific conductance during <br />pumping. When water temperature and specific <br />conductance stabilized. usually after IO or 15 minutes <br />of pumping, samples were collected at the outlet of <br />the pump mechanism. Samples for inorganic analyses <br />were pumped directly into the churn at the hand- <br />pumped sites or dipped with a polyethylene bottle <br />and transferred to the churn at the spring sites. <br />Samples for total organic carbon and dissolved <br />organic carbon analyses were collected directly in <br />baked amber glass bottles. <br />Field measurements of specific conductance, <br />water temperature, dissolved oxygen. and barometric <br />pressure were made onsite (M.A. Sylvester and <br />others. U.S. Geological Survey, unpub. data. 1990). <br />Turbidity and pH were measured from samples taken <br />from the churn splitter. Samples for analyses of <br />inorganic water-quality constituents were processed <br />and preserved as described for stream samples (Ward <br />and Harr. 1990). Samples for total and dissolved <br />organic carbon analyses were processed and preserved <br />as described for stream samples (Ward and Harr. 1990). <br /> <br />Lake/Reservoir Sampling <br /> <br />Four lakes/reservoirs were sampled in the study <br />area. The deepest location in the water body was <br />determined for sampling using a depth finder from <br />a boat. Sampling sites are listed in table 6 and shown <br />in figure 6. A multiparameter water-quality probe <br />that measured water temperature, specific conduc- <br />tance, pH, and dissolved oxygen was used to <br />determine a profile of those parameters with depth. <br />The transparency of the water was determined with <br />a Secchi disk. <br />Samples for inorganic and organic carbon <br />analyses were collected just below the surface and just <br />above the bottom using a Van Dom point sampler <br />(horizontal PVC cylinder with end seals triggered by <br />surface messenger) lowered on a cable and triggered <br />from the surface to trap water from a specific depth. <br />Field measurements of water temperature, specific <br />conductance. barometric pressure, and dissolved <br />oxygen for the surface and bottom samples were <br />determined from the profile measurements. Sample <br />water for inorganic analyses was transferred to clean, <br />acid-rinsed, deionized-water-rinsed, polyethylene <br />containers. Samples were transferred to a churn <br />splitter and then processed and preserved as described <br />for stream samples (Ward and Harr. 1990). Sample <br />water for carbon analysis was transferred to baked <br />glass containers at the surface and then processed and <br />preserved as described for stream samples (Ward and <br />Harr, 1990). <br /> <br /> <br />METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS 11 <br />
