Short Description of Activity
Judith Lopez sampled at her site in Confluence Park on the Uncompahgre River.Monthly samples are collected, filtered and unfiltered, to be mailed off every other month and assessed by a laboratory for Metals. 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 and to CPW. Written documents are submitted at a minimum of every other month along with the metal samples and any other samples that may be required periodically. This will be done with the May sampling event. Diane Spooner has temporarily not been able to sample at her site.
Reflection/Evaluation
Goal is being met to provide consistent data on the river to aid with decisions about its health and uses.
