Abstract:
During 2015, in connection with examination of ecological and chemical parameters, a study of Escherichia coli in waters in the areas of Hunting Creek/Cameron Run and adjacent waters of the Potomac River was continued with samples being collected at the same sites as in 2014. This work provides current microbiological water quality information in these aquatic ecosystems adjacent to and receiving water from the wastewater reclamation facility operated by Alexandria Renew Enterprises (Alex Renew). As previously one basic question is whether any of these waters are impaired under the Clean Water Act in terms of their designated uses.
