Spring Creek upstream Spring Creek Rd
Continuous Physicochemical Monitoring Results
*The objective of this report is to present detailed summaries
and analyses of collected data. These data may inform protected use
assessment decisions, but this report does not include such
determinations, which may incorporate additional data or information not
included in this report.

Methods
Continuous data are collected and evaluated according to the Continuous
Physicochemical Data Collection Protocol. Plots, summary tables, and
data downloads are available below. Data are evaluated for exceedances
of relevant water quality criteria from 25 Pa. Code § 93.7 and the 99%
frequency rule from 25 Pa. Code § 96.3(c) following the Continuous
Physicochemical Assessment Method. These evaluations are included to
inform assessment decisions, but are not, by themselves, assessment
determinations. Calculations for all criteria are shown regardless of
whether they apply for this waterbody’s designated use or the specific
time of year. To provide context to changes in water quality, a flow-based parameter such as stream stage or discharge data is reviewed. These data may come from equipment maintained by DEP at the site or data collected nearby by an outside agency. When possible, these data are displayed alongside the water quality data.
