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
