We sampled every two weeks during the summer. September 22 was the last sampling. See pictures from samplings and the latest E.coli results at the Events tab or click on the picture. The September 22 sample was taken BEFORE the big rain, and so NWB-2 passed this time! Hate to think what the E.coli level was AFTER the rain. This concludes the monitoring season, but the Anacostia Riverkeeper will provide a synthesis that we will also put on our website. On the Events tab, the newest results are BELOW earlier ones.
Whether you missed our earlier trip or would just like to see what the river looks like in the fall, join us! Departing from Bladensburg Waterfront Park. Our host will again be the Anacostia Watershed Society. You can see pictures from our July 17 trip on the Events page.
