Short Description of Activity
Normal sampling event. Preparation, sampling, and protocols were done on 5/21/25; data were submitted online to River Watch and to CPW on same date. Protocols (pH, alkalinity, and hardness) were conducted on one sample, oxygenation is based on another sample. Two Metal samples (filtered and unfiltered) which are analyzed in Denver were gathered. Metal samples from this event will be sent in June along with samples gathered then.
Reflection/Evaluation
The goal is to monthly sample at the site on the Uncompahgre River in Confluence Park following all requirements to ensure reliable data is produced. The event went well.
