Surface Water Quality Monitoring

Data Summary Lincoln County Water Planner holds data from surface water quality sites monitored since 1991. Redwood River Clean Water Project, Phase II - Implementation (CWP) includes surface water quality data collected at three sites in the watershed and two sites in Lake Redwood since 1994. Storm event and baseline samples have been collected from each of the sites and analyzed for the following parameters: Total Suspended Solids, Total Phosphorus, Nitrate-Nitrogen, Ammmonia, and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen. In-lake samples have been monitored for these additional parameters: Volatile Suspended Solids, Orthophosphorus, and Bacteria. Monitoring taken in the field include: Dissolved Oxygen, Conductivity, Water Temperature, and Secchi Disk (lake transparency) readings. Redwood River Clean Water Project, Phase I - Diagnostic (CWP) includes surface water quality data collected at seven automated sampling stations throughout the watershed from 1990-1992. Collection of storm event and baseline samples occurred and the number of samples taken from each site varies. Collection of in-lake water quality samples occurred four times a year at two sites in Lake Redwood from 1990-1992. Analysis included the following chemical and physical parameters: Total Phosphorus, Total Suspended Solids, Total Volatile Suspended Solids, Nitrate/Nitrite-Nitrogen, Ammonia, pH, Conductivity, Temperature, and Color. Analysis of in-lake samples occurred for these additional parameters: Orthophosphate, Chlorophyll-a, Transparency, and Bacteria (1992 only).
