Data Used to Assess Water Quality: | Five water samples were collected from Lone Willow Sluogh approximately monthly between February and July 2005, representing 5 concentrations. One sample exceeded the Evaluation Guideline (0.03 ug/L). For four water samples, permethrin was not detected at levels below the quantitation limit, and the limit was greater than the Evaluation Guideline. Therefore, in accordance with Section 6.1.5.5 of the Listing Policy, these four samples were not used in the assessment. |
