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
