The highest total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) and dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) were observed at Ten Mile River @ Central Ave. (TDN = 1,315 ppb, DIN = 1,058.8 ppb, averages of duplicates). The lowest TN was observed at Runnins River @ River Rd. (386 ppb), and the lowest TDN was observed at Taunton River @ Berkley Bridge (303 ppb). The lowest DIN was observed at Palmer River @ Rt. 6 (13 ppb, reflecting minimum detection limits for DIN).
The next scheduled sampling date is August 20th, 2025.
