.July 21, 2007
During the past three years over a dozen citizen volunteers have collected more than 500 water samples for bacterial analysis in order to help monitor and assess the on-going progress of the TMDL implementation on Catoctin watershed in Loudoun County. Using the Easy-gel method, samples are collected at 12 location in the 90-sq mile watershed every two weeks. Data collected do not indicate any significant reduction in E. Coli in the creeks. Higher stream flows (storm events) generally exhibit increased bacteria levels. Data and maps are posted on-line. Monitoring supplies have been funded through several DEQ and Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund grants.
