==================================================
DAY 1
On April 9th and 10th, 1996 the Glennallen Jr. High 8th grade class went to
Tolsona and Moose Lakes, to do water quality testing. Some tests were done
in the field and others were collected and taken back to test in the lab.
The tests done in the field were pH, DO (disolved oxygen), nitrates and
temperature. The tests done in the lab were fecal coliform, BOD
(Biological Oxygen Damand), PO4 (total phosphates), and TDS (total
dissolved solids).
The first day was nice, everybody was warm and dry. There was no wind or
clouds. It was sunny and warm. The first thing we did when we arrived at
the lake was drill a hole in the ice with an ice auger. Then we started
doing our tests as soon as we got water from the hole. The students said
that the water smelled.
The walks from station to station on Tolsona were not long so people did
not get tired from walking.
Some of the quotes from Tolsona were:
"The water appearance is clear."
"The trip was cool"
"Yes, I love all the snow, having to crawl out of two feet of white stuff!"

=======================================Day 2
DAY 2
We had to start out on Tolsona Lake and walk to Moose Lake. It was a long
walk. It was a nice and warm day again. There were no clouds and no wind.
At Moose Lake Station one we started the first drilling about 30 meters
from the shore but we didn't get any water. The second try we got mud.
The third try we got water. The water was dirty and smelled like rotten
eggs. Everybody thought it was gross. They went from Moose Lake Station
one to Moose Lake Station three. At Moose Lake Station three everyone was
tired, but still alive. Mike was trying to ice fish, he didn't catch
anything but weeds. Everyone was sitting around doing tests.
At Moose Lake Station four everyone was tired because they walked all the
way to the middle of the lake about a quarter of a mile. The walk to Moose
Lake Station four was cold and long. Everyone kept sinking through the
snow. We were surrounded by snow all around the lake, the sky was clear
and the weather was exceptionally warm. From the middle of the lake you
could see the mountains.
With Mr. Szarzi shouting instructions the class moved to Moose Lake Station
two. The walk to Moose Lake Station two from Moose Lake Station four was
really long. It wasn't so bad though because everyone was used to walking
and the snow was harder. Everyone was still warm and dry and no one was
complaining. The groups finished their tests and it was time to go back to
the bus. Everyone was glad to retreat to the bus because they were so
tired. We had all been walking all day and were thankful to be going home.
The trip was a fun and exciting experience and everyone made the most of
the trip.
We would like to thank Diana and John Thomas, Ty Tollman, Arron Wilford, Mr
Rego, and Mr. Wallace for their support and assitence during our field
trip.

Ken,
I just sent four JPEG photos via FTP site. I sent them as raw data using
Fetch, I hope that this worked.
The narratives for the pictures are as follows:
Titus Spring 96 Tolsona has Titus Linebaugh taking a water sample from a
hole drilled in the ice at Tolsona Lake.
Moose Lake shows a group of students testing for water quality at Moose Lake.
8th Graders Spring Tolsona shows the class on frozen Tolsona Lake on a

Exuberant Jo shows Jo Shinn jumping for joy because we are testing for
water quality at Tolsona Lake on a beautiful spring day.

=============================Rocky Mountain Waters
From: Eric Allstott
Stream Data: Rocky Mountain Lake
Loch outlet pH=5.99 conductivity=15.5(microseimens/cm)
Loch inlet pH=6.17 conductivity=18.5
The outlet sample was taken on 4/23, and the inlet sample
was taken on 4/24.
If you want the full scoop on sample chemistry we could
get that data to you, but it will take about three months
before we get it back from the USFS lab we use.
Cheers,

================================Clark's River, Calloway Co. KY
Hello Ken Cooke and Fellow Water Watchers:
Jointly the Calloway County High School Environmental Research Team and
CCHS-CCMS Bridgers participated in Monitoring Week by monitoring three sites
in Calloway County on Friday, April 26. The partly sunny weather was a
treat for the young teen scientists as they monitored the East Fork of
Clark's River upstream and downstream of Murray, KY.
Bee Creek was the first site tested. The CCHS-CCMS Bridgers
included: Michael Bennett, Summers Brawley, Russell Sweatman, Laurie Witte,
Mechelle Woodall, Angela Dodd, Becky Hicks, Oliver Driz, Josh Mitchell,
Veronica Ramsey, Rebecca Wilson, Melissa Baird, Andrea Conner, Kristine
Hokans, Andrew Falwell, Susan Darnell (CCMS science teacher) Trent Bates and
Stephanie Wyatt (CCHS science teachers). At this site we observed that most
of the vegetation had been removed along the stream bank due to the
construction of a new bridge. We also saw tire tracks which might be due to
the construction. We noticed several animal tracks and agreed this was a
water source for several animals in the area. Two bags of trash were
collected around the stream and road banks at this site. A tire and hub cap
were the most noticeable forms of pollution in this site. The air
temperature was 22 degrees Celsius.
Bee Creek, Downstream of Murray 8:45 a.m.(cst)
pH: 7.1 su
Chloride: 30 mg/L
Detergents: None
Iron: .75 mg/L
Phenols: less than .1 mg/L
Nitrate: 1.0 mg/L
Dissolved Oxygen: 9.2 mg/L
Temperature: 15.1 degrees Celsius
Settleable Solids: Less than .5 ml/L
Our second site was located downstream of Murray behind Wiggins
Furniture. The next researchers added to our Water Watch group included:
Maranda Allbritten, Anne Michael, Emily Thomas, Jamie Sanders, Jennifer Gay,
Laurie Jo Parker, Thomas Holcomb, Marcie Williams and Derek vanderMolen.
These students will be testing water in Belize in the summer of 1996. The
team noticed the level of water was lower than previously observed. The
water was not as clean as expected. The pollution included a car bumper, car
motor, air conditioner and 12 previously filleted crappie. The group
collected 7 shiners and 1 logperch. The biological survey indicated that the
stream was in good condition. Also there were fewer riffles than previously
observed. The air temperature was 20.4 degrees Celsius. In addition, our
team planted approximately 20 pine trees at this site.
East Fork of Clarks River, Downstream of Murray at Wiggin's Furniture 10:45a.m.

Phenols: less than .1 mg/L
Nitrate: 2.0 mg/L
Dissolved Oxygen: 9.2 mg/L
Temperature: 16.8 degrees Celsius
Settleable Solids: less than .5 ml/L
Our final site was located upstream of Murray at Martin's Chapel.
Our expanding Water Watch team was joined by other students who have a
special interest in water monitoring projects. Our new water testers
included Brian Williams, Derek Crouch, Randy Brown, Brad Rowland, Jason
Bogard, Rob Jones, Chris Reinwald, Marshall Tucker, Shannon Russeau, Opal
Copeland, Kristy Perry, Jeremy Lueck, (Tiffany Durard and Kathy Hargrove)
Special Education Teachers. The level of the water appeared to be lower and
we noticed fewer ripples at this site. The biological survey indicated the
stream was in good condition. The group collected and returned 12 shiners,
1 tadpole, 1 frog, 1 toad and etc. The team picked up 2 full trash bags.
The air temperature was 19 degrees Celsius.
East Fork of Clarks River, Upstream of Murray at Martin Chapel Road 1:00 p.m.
pH: 6.5 su
Chloride: 30 mg/L
Detergents: none
Iron: 1.2 mg/L
Phenols: less than .1 mg/L
Nitrate: 3.5 mg/L
Dissolved Oxygen: 7.0 mg/L
Temperature: 18 degrees Celsius
Settleable Solids: less than .5 ml/L
In conclusion, our environmental research team had a very successful
day. We taught 20 new students how to monitor our local streams and hope
that they will join us in Keeping Kentucky's Water Clean. We finally
collected some fish in our new seine that we purchased with our $100 grant.
The Pocket Pal pH Meter was very useful. We were alarmed about the lower
dissolved oxygen readings, but we quickly recalled the rain and storm we had
experienced the previous night. John Mark Potts, extension in Watershed
Management, helped in our Monitoring Day activity. The weather was warmer
and the gale force winds only swirled when we were taking our group
pictures. We are looking forward to our May testing day to contribute data
to our wonderful Water Watch Director, Ken Cooke.
