WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - November 2010 to current.

INSTRUMENTATION - Water-quality sampler since November 2010.

REMARKS - Chemical analyses by the Water and Environmental Analysis Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Samples with end dates/times are flow-composite samples collected by an automatic point sampler which represent the event-mean concentration for the specified runoff period. Samples with only start dates/times are discrete samples collected by the same sampler. The sample runoff volume is the total flow that occurs between the start and end time of each flow-composite sample. In most cases, the sample runoff volume is slightly less than the total storm runoff volume. Some runoff events were not sampled. An approximate storm load (in pounds) can be computed by multiplying the sample runoff volume (in cubic feet) by the constituent concentration (in mg/L) and a factor of 6.2428x10^-5.
