  2. Chapter 1: St. Regis Canal South June 5, 2013: “low flow”October 28, 2013: “high flow”

  3. Timeline of Events • June 5, 2013: Marc Minno, Darlene Saindon, and Brian Kauffman did a stream profile and flow measurements of the St. Regis Canal, and collected water samples for drinking water standards during “low flow” conditions. Water samples were collected on the south section of St. Regis Canal near LAT: 29o 52’ 4.22”N, LONG: 82o 59’ 49.98”W and water samples were shipped overnight Fedex to Pace Analytical Services lab in Ormond Beach. • June 21, 2013: Report of DWI analysis was received from Pace Analyticals. Only Iron and Color exceeded the EPA’s Maximum Contamination Levels, both of which are secondary standards and do not have any known health concerns. • October 28, 2013: Marc Minno, Darlene Saindon, and Neha Jagtap returned to the same location on St. Regis Canal, and collected water samples for drinking water standards including biologicals during “high flow” conditions. Water samples were shipped overnight by Fedex to Pace Analytical Services lab in Ormond Beach, and biological samples were delivered by District staff to Biological Consulting Services lab in Gainesville, FL that same night. • November 12, 2013: Report of DWI analysis was received from Pace Analyticals. Only Iron, Aluminum, and Color exceeded the EPA’s Maximum Contamination Levels. PH levels were just below the acceptable range for drinking water standards. All of these parameters are secondary standards and do not have any known health concerns. • December 2, 2013: Report of DWI Biologicals was received from Biological Consulting Services. Total Coliforms, Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia, E. Coli, Fecal Coliform, and Enterococci were all detected and failed primary drinking water standards. Neither Legionella spp.nor Viruses were detected. The Heterotrophic Plate Count, measuring the variety of bacteria present, was also over the EPA Maximum Level.

  5. St. Regis Canal, Lafayette County, FL Water Quality Summary for June 5, 2013 Majority of the contaminants tested were below detection limits. Those that were detected are listed in the table below next to the EPA’s Maximum Contamination Level (MCL) or Acceptable Range for that contaminant. Those that do not fall within the National Drinking Water Regulations are highlighted. Primary Parameters have known health concerns at levels above MCL or outside the acceptable range. Secondary Parameters may cause cosmetic effects (such as skin or tooth discoloration) or aesthetic effects (such as taste, odor, or color) (EPA 816-F-09-004, May 2009). * For Sodium: 30 mg/L is the taste threshold; 120 mg/L is the health concern level Water sample collected by Marc Minno, Darlene Saindon, and Brian Kauffman near LAT 29° 52’ 4.22” N LONG 82° 59’ 49.98” W on June 5, 2013. Water sample analyzed for Drinking Water I Standards by Pace Analyticals and report received on June 21, 2013.

  6. St. Regis Canal, Lafayette County, FL Water Quality Summary for October 28, 2013 Majority of the contaminants tested were below detection limits. Those that were detected are listed in the table below next to the EPA’s Maximum Contamination Level (MCL) or Acceptable Range for that contaminant. Those that do not fall within the National Drinking Water Regulations are highlighted. Primary Parameters have known health concerns at levels above MCL or outside the acceptable range. Secondary Parameters may cause cosmetic effects (such as skin or tooth discoloration) or aesthetic effects (such as taste, odor, or color) (EPA 816-F-09-004, May 2009). * For Sodium: 30 mg/L is the taste threshold; 120 mg/L is the health concern level Water sample collected by Marc Minno, Darlene Saindon, and Neha Jagtap near LAT 29° 52’ 4.22” N LONG 82° 59’ 49.98” W on October 28, 2013. Water sample analyzed for Drinking Water I Standards by Pace Analyticals and report received on November 12, 2013.

  7. St. Regis Canal, Lafayette County, FL Microorganism Contaminant Summary for October 28, 2013 Majority of the microorganism tested were detected. All microorganisms listed have known health concerns, or are indicators that other, potentially harmful microorganisms may be present. The EPA require zero detection of these microorganisms to pass drinking water regulations (EPA 816-F-09-004, May 2009). The Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) is an analytic method used to measure the variety of bacteria present, and does not indicate whether or not potentially harmful bacteria is present. The lower the concentration of bacteria, the better maintained the water system is, and the likelihood of having a potentially harmful bacteria present is decreased. Water sample collected by Marc Minno, Darlene Saindon, and Neha Jagtap near LAT 29° 52’ 4.22” N LONG 82° 59’ 49.98” W on October 28, 2013. Water sample analyzed for Drinking Water Microorganisms by Biological Consulting Services and preliminary report (minus Virus results) received on November 15, 2013. Final report with Virus results were received on December 2, 2013.
