I read a Seattle Times article about the work you all did at Golden Gardens taking water samples of the creek on the south end there and finding high levels of fecal bacteria. Then a Seattle PI article about an error in your data lumping all coliform bacteria levels into the fecal coliform category. I looked on your website for more info/data sets but couldn’t locate them. Could you direct me to where I could find that? Thanks! I’m trying to make a lesson plan about fecal matter in waterways and this info would be really helpful.
Hello, there has been a large turnover of folks in the seattle chapter and I honestly don’t know where this data is. We were trying to work within Dept of Ecology guidelines for sampling. I think you can find them somewhere at this link http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/eap/beach/
Thanks for your interest!
