Data Set Name	recwat97_db_format.xls.db, wq_do_svtp_1997_.dbf
Date of Content Start	9/1/1995
Date of Content End	4/26/2001
Maint. and Update Freq.	On-going
Purpose	To fulfill NPDES requirements by monthly sampling water quality parameters in receiving waters during months of discharge.
Data Quality Information	No records were available describing particular methods and equipment. Various technicians perform sampling.
Use Constraints	Analysis is limited by infrequent surface samples
Supplemental Information	Water quality at CS-1 can be greatly effected by freshwater flow and tide height due to presence of tide gate immediately upstream. Sampling was usually conducted at high flow to allow boat access but otherwise with no schedule to control for environmental variation.
