| Data Summary |
Brown-Nicollet-Cottonwood Ground Water Project, Phase I - Diagnostic (CWP) includes data from the monitoring of fifty-nine ground water wells, located within the three study areas, from 1990-1991. Analysis included the following parameters: nitrate/nitrite-nitrogen, coliform bacteria, anions and cations, pesticides and tritium. Additional field tests were performed whenever possible. Static water level was measured in selected wells in each study area. Brown-Nicollet-Cottonwood Ground Water Project, Phase II - Implementation (CWP) includes data from bimonthly monitoring of fifteen original west and east study area water wells for nitrates from 1993 to 1996. Static water level continues to be monitored in these wells. A rural drinking water survey of the three counties was completed in 1994 to overview levels of 27 parameters in rural wells. Collection of samples occurred from fifteen wells geographically spaced in the counties. |

Brown-Nicollet-Cottonwood Ground Water Project, Phase I - Diagnostic (CWP) includes surface water quality data from the collection of grab samples at various sites in each project study area from 1990-1991. Samples were analyzed for nitrates.Brown-Nicollet-Cottonwood Ground Water Project, Phase II - Implementation (CWP) includes surface water quality data from monitoring in the Wellner-Hageman Watershed (minor watershed 29019) during 1992-1997. Collection of storm event and grab samples occurred at stream sites within the minor watershed and in the reservoir. Sampling of several streams, ditches, small lakes and intermittent ponds also occurred regularly in the east and west study areas. Analysis of surface water samples included nitrate-nitrogen, ammonium-nitrogen, orthophosphate, total suspended solids, conductivity and alkalinity.Cottonwood River Restoration Project, Phase I - Diagnostic (CWP) includes surface water quality data collected from ten sites in the Cottonwood River Watershed in 1997 and five sites in 1998. Collection of storm event and baseline samples occurred using automated samplers and grab sample techniques. Sample analysis includes the following parameters: Total Suspended Solids, Total Suspended Volatile Solids, Ammonia, Nitrate/Nitrite-Nitrogen, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, Phosphate, Total Phosphorus, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Fecal Coliform, Total Coliform, and Fecal Streptococci. Parameters measured in the field include Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature, and pH. |
