Notes

Recruiting more help with water samples, glad my classmates like this as much as myself. Julie and Jordan came to collect benthics so they could start their own collections!! 2 beaver dams located 15 meters apart and evidence of the busy beaver scattered about.... see pictures. When they ID their benthics I will update what they found in their samples.
Sampling with help from Julie Sell, Jordan Wakefield, Paul Cirpanni and Shandy Labine.

HacH 3600 used to analyze samples.
TNT kits 865 & 843 used to find Phosphate (PO4,3-) and Sulfate (SO4,2-) concentrations.

TNT 843 (PO4,3-)
