SUBJECT: Stream sampling for Town of Forest City and J. C. Cowan
Plant/Burlington Industries
259er
The down stream sampling point for the Town of Forest City
is 1.2 miles downstream of Forest City's discharge and just above
J. C. Cowan Plant/Burlington Ind. discharge. The J. C. Cowan-- boZ S
Plant/Burlington Ind. upstream sampling point is 50 feet above
the discharge. These two sampling points, for all practical
purposes, are the same (see attached map). At present, Town of
Forest City is required to sample downstream for fecal coliform,
temperature, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen while J. C. Cowan
Plant/Burlington Ind. is required to sample upstream for
biochemical oxygen demand and dissolved oxygen.
My recommendation is to allow the Town of Forest City and J.
C. Cowan Plant to share data with each party to sample for
biochemical oxygen demand, fecal coliform, dissolved oxygen and
conductivity. The Town of Forest City will sample the stream
February through July and J. C. Cowan Plant will sample the
stream August through January. The present J. C. Cowan stream
sampling point shall be used by each party. This sampling
schedule will allow each participant to preform sampling for two
(2) months when sampling is required three (3) days per week.
Each participant shall furnish sampling analysis data to the
other in a manner so that discharge monitoring reports can be
submitted on schedule to the Division of Water Quality.
