Short Description of Activity
Judith Lopez sampled at her site in Confluence Park on the Uncompahgrea River. Quality control as well as normal procedures were done as filters were now available. Samples were collected for a lab to assess metals, normal filtered and unfiltered as well as duplicates of these and two blanks using DI. water.Other samples are collected monthly to be assessed by the volunteer for oxygenation, Ph, hardness and alkalinity. All data are reported on line to River Watch monthly. Written documents and metal sample are submitted at a minimum of every other month and will be submitted in July.
Reflection/Evaluation
Goal is being met to provide consistent data on the river to aid with decisions about its health and uses. Samples will be provided to River Watch further analysis of metals.
