WQXTEST ABC Organization Here is a description of the organization. 001 storet@epa.gov Email 1-800-424-9067 Office Location 123 Main Street Unit A Lawrenceville NJ 08016 US 021 11 2005 Raritan River Reach This program examines the floating phytoplankton (algae) and zooplankton (small animals) found in the river and its tributaries. The plankton form the basis of the food web which supports the entire Bay ecosystem. The plankton community responds quickly to changes in water quality and will be among the first components of the Bay ecosystem to respond to management actions. The current program, which started in 1985, monitors 6 tributary and 7 Bay stations from 12 to 16 times per year. Results to date indicate that very small species dominate the phytoplankton community and the zooplankton community is subject to dramatic boom and bust cycles. Sharp decreases in zooplankton were detected several times during the year. Densities were sometimes below levels considered the minimum required to support many species fishes during their larval stages. Benthic organism, such as shellfish and worms, live in the sediment of the Bay and its rivers. Benthos are excellent indicators of water quality and are an important food resource for many fish. This program was implemented in 1985 and collects samples each summer from 5 fixed sites in the Bay and 14 fixed sites in the tributaries. There is also a stratified random sampling component which samples 25 sites within each of the James, Rappahannock, York, and Bay mainstem. Most previous programs have focused on the lower Bay, the James and York rivers. The Water Quality Monitoring Program is the largest, most complex and best coordinated component of the Federal-Interstate Chesapeake Bay Monitoring Program. A key factor in the establishment of this program in 1984 was the need to obtain long-term data related to nutrient enrichment of the Bay and its tributaries. The coordination of water quality and biological programs with similar programs in other Bay watershed jurisdictions is accomplished through the Federal-Interstate Chesapeake Bay Program Monitoring Subcommittee. This coordination allows for Baywide assessments of conditions, trend analysis and modeling efforts. Results from the period of 1999-2001 have been included in the report entitled "State of the River 2003" by the ERP. One significant conclusion suggests dissolved metals are not a problem throughout the river's water column. However, the Southern Branch has been identified as having a severe problem relative to sediment contamination, the inability to support life on the river bottom, and sediment toxins causing cancer in select fish species. Furthermore, the anti-foulant, Tributyltin (TBT) has also been identified as a problem river wide. Conclusions from monitoring results that precede 1999 can be found in the State of the River 2000 report.

See Section 9225 for differentiation of Escherichia coli, the predominant fecal coliform. If the MF procedure is used for chlorinated effluents, demonstrate that it gives comparable information to that obtainable by the multiple-tube test before accepting it as an alternative. The fecal coliform MF procedure uses an enriched lactose medium and incubation temperature of 44.5 ± 0.2°C for selectivity. Because incubation temperature is critical, submerge waterproofed (plastic bag enclosures) MF cultures in a water bath for incubation at the elevated temperature or use an appropriate solid heat sink incubator or other incubator that is documented to hold the 44.5°C temperature within 0.2°C throughout the chamber, over a 24-h period. Areas of application for the fecal coliform method in general are stated in the introduction to the multiple-tube fecal coliform procedures, Section 9221E.
