As the Eutech DO unit is unserviceable, I borrowed Paula Pippan's La Motte unit to calculate the DO. I calculated the % from the chart. I used our Eutech Ec/pH unit to take the temperature reading, instream. If we get our unit opeating shortly, I will do another sampling to correclate the different equipment. The DO and Phosphorous readings are unusual. Paula commented that her sample also had unusual but similar readings. The turbidity was very low, the lines could be seen with the tube full of water sample, I have recorded that as less than 10.
