Draft Report on PCBs in the Bohemia comments due by August 24th

At this link you can see the draft report MDE is preparing to submit to the EPA about the presence of PCBs in our river. You can learn more about the pollutants called PCBs here.

This report is full of useful information about our river, some of which is way over my head. I'd welcome some help from someone who'd like to read it and help me to answer some questions. Please email me if you'd like to help.

Bacteria Testing to begin next week

After a couple of unexpected delays I have been able to order bacteria test kits and they should be here in about a week.

There remain some unanswered questions and I'm working on getting those answered now:

- where should we test ?

- how often should we test ?

- who can help with testing ?

More to follow.
