WATER-QUALITY RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - Equal-width increment samples collected roughly every three weeks and occasionally during storm-runoff events from August, 2011 to September, 2015.
REMARKS - Daily loads published in NWIS should be considered fair-poor, as the objectives of sample collection were to estimate seasonal and annual loads. Chemical analyses by the Water and Environmental Analysis Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
