Water quality sampling occurred at six sites within the Lake Glenville watershed on 05/25/23. All sites were located as close as possible to sites sampled in previous monitoring years; the location for the Glenville Creek sample was again sampled downstream at its standard location.

On the 06/06/22 sampling, the sample location on Glenville Creek was moved upstream to where Hwy. 107 crosses the stream, due to high water at the downstream location. The 05/25/23 sampling was a dry weather sampling, the area around the lake received 0 inches of rain from 05/18/23 – 05/25/23 (Figure 1). The suite of parameters sampled included water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, specific conductivity, turbidity, fecal coliform, ammonia, nitrite/nitrate, phosphate, and alkalinity. The data collected during this dry weather sampling is much more similar to what has been observed previously, as opposed to the 12/15/22 wet weather sampling. That sampling was intended to detect pollutants that were being flushed into the waterways and assess their possible sources, at least at the subwatershed scale.
