Data was collected as part of basin wide synoptic grab sample events in May, July and August. All three events includes the following parameters: Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and pathogens. Pathogen anaylsis at all locations included results for e. coli as well as total coliform and fecal coliform at varying sites. In addition, field observations were generally made for stream flow, turbidity, and rainfall.

The spring event occurred on May 3st and 5th with a total of 122 sites reporting.  Of these sites 89 were found to be exceeding the Kentucky surface water standard of 240 CFU/100ml for e. coli. One site did not report a grab sample for the event, only field data. The complete data set for this event can be viewed at this link.

The summer event occured on July 5th and 7th with a total of 93 sites reporting. Of these sites 25 were found to be exceeding the Kentucky surface water standard of 240 CFU/100ml for e. coli. Two sites repoted dry conditions and did not submit a grab sample. A third site submitted only field data and no grab sample. The complete data set for this event can be viewed at this link.

The fall event occured on August 13th and 15th with a total of 82 sites reporting. Of these sites 21 were found to be exceeding the Kentucky surface water standard of 240 CFU/100ml for e. coli. One site reported dry conditions and did not submit a grab sample. The complete data set for this event can be viewed at this link.
