Data Analysis
Jayne Jenks, Waukesha County, and Charlie Shong, PRP, analysed the data collected by the PRP monitors from 2005 through 2007. They reported their findings at the November 29th meeting.
Two sites have shown high turbidity readings: Zion Creek (perhaps due to location near both I94 and a golf course) and Coco Creek after Yench Rd (perhaps due to residential development activities to the north).
One site has consistently had the lowest dissolved oxygen readings: Pewaukee River at Capitol Dr. (perhaps due to the presence of a large wetland just to the north).
The analysis team suggested arranging more intensive testing for these three sites in 2008 to try to determine what is causing the readings.
