Monitoring the Effects of Floyd Storm Water in the York and Pamunkey Rivers

Plan: Slackwater runs along river axis from York River mouth to Rt 360 bridge at the Pamunkey River
 

Frequency: Starting Thursday, September 23, then every Friday, Monday and Wednesday until spatial distribution of salinity returns to normal condition.
 

Stations: 13 stations by boat, and 2 stations by truck, all are CAST survey stations.
 

Parameters: CTD profiles, LIST and LightCor measurements, water samples collected at 2 depths ( 1 m below surface and 1 m above bottom) at every stations to be analyzed for:
 
 

Particulate Organic Carbon	Dissolved Organic Carbon	Particulate Nitrogen
Total Dissolved Nitrogen	NH4	NO2+NO3
Particulate Phosphorus	Part. Inorganic Phosphorus	Total Dissolved Phosphorus
Dissolved Inorganic Phosphorus	Chlorophyll 'a'	Total Suspended Solids
	Total Fixed Solids

 

Slack Time at river mouth:

• 1200, 9/23 SBE
• 1251, 9/24 SBE
• 0852, 9/27 SBF
