New River testing June 8th 2005

Notes:

All the results came from a Lamotte water testing kit
except for the drop kit. The drop kit is a liquid test
commonly used on aquariums to measure Ph. We started
at the southern part of the New River above the
Anderson county line on Hwy 116 which becomes the New
River Road. The car milege is to facilitate how many
miles the streams are apart. I have no idea what “CP”
s are but I wrote down the signs when I saw them.

We got samples from as close to the middle of the
streams as possible. We collected samples in plastic
water bottles and numbered the sample bottles. When
then took The bottles home and tested them with the
Lamotte kits.

Hey here are the field sheets from our latest round of field testing of streams at Zeb Mountain (MTR site). Currently the samples are in the lab getting tested for some heavy metals. Will post the heavy metal results on our website.

Sunday we are going to Bledsoe County to scout and test an area that has been designated as unsuitable for mining due to acid coal seams. Apparently the coal companies have logged it and are doing core samples to explore mining there.

We couldn't test 1/4 of the Zeb watershed cause our off road taurus couldn't handle it. If someone has an SUV or truck...
