| FIELD TRIP TO HOBBLE CREEK MIDDLE SITE | ||||||
| Tuesday 23, Oct 2007 | ||||||
| TEST RESULTS (Overall Sampling Time: from 1:53 pm to 3:40 pm) | ||||||
| NUMBER OF SAMPLE | ||||||
| PARAMETER | READINGS | 1 | 2 | 3 | OBSERVATIONS | |
| Silica | 1 | > 8 | > 8 | > 8 | Minimum detection limit: 0.05 ppm. Readings of silica were out of range. The kit used to measure this parameter was low range and the contents of silica in the river exceeded 8 ppm, even after diluting the sample 2:1 | |
| 2 | > 8 | > 8 | > 8 | |||
| 3 | > 8 | > 8 | > 8 | |||
| Nitrate | 1 | 6.99 | 6.38 | 6.60 | Minimum detection limit: 0.1 ppm. Sampling time: 2:03 pm | |
| 2 | 6.95 | 5.63 | 6.82 | |||
| 3 | 6.55 | 6.07 | 6.73 | |||
| Phosphate | 1 | 0.04 | 0.04 | 0.05 | Minimum detection limit: 0.05 ppm. | |
| 2 | 0.05 | |||||
| 3 | 0.06 | |||||
| Lead | 1 | 0 | 0.00 | 0.10 | Minimum detection limit: 0.1 ppm. There was no presence of lead in the water. These results seem reasonable because we do not know of any potential sources of metals polluting Hobble Creek | |
| 2 | 0 | 0.00 | 0.00 | |||
| 3 | 0 | 0.00 | 0.00 | |||
| Fluoride | 1 | 0.34 | 0.20 | Minimum detection limit: 0.05 ppm. | ||
| 2 | 0.33 | 0.20 | ||||
| 3 | 0.33 | 0.19 | ||||
| Bromine | 1 | 0.31 | 0.14 | 0.15 | Minimum detection limit: 0.1 ppm. Sampling Time: 3:20 pm | |
| 2 | 0.3 | 0.10 | 0.15 | |||
| 3 | 0.32 | 0.09 | 0.15 | |||
| Iodine | 1 | 0.61 | 0.22 | 0.4 | Minimum detection limit: 0.2 ppm. Sampling Time: 3:20 pm | |
| 2 | 0.54 | 0.21 | 0.31 | |||
| 3 | 0.53 | 0.22 | 0.39 | |||
| Nitrite | 1 | 0.23 | 0 | 0.06 | Minimum detection limit: 0.02 ppm. Sampling time: 2:40 pm | |
| 2 | 0.15 | 0.02 | 0.11 | |||
| 3 | 0.2 | 0 | 0.13 | |||
| Chlorine | 1 | 0 | Minimum detection limit: 0.05 ppm. | |||
