Characterization Site 8:
   stratification of phosphorus concentration :
Mean of surface and epicore values = 8.7ppb
Bottom value from one sample = 40.5 ppb

With most recent historical data around 18 ppb for the bottom - our result was higher than expected and may have been contaminated by sediments creating this higher value - further testing should be performed to verify the level of the bottom of Oaks Pond

Surface is currently below critical value but may not stay that way with increasingly higher values in hypolimnion
