The creek was fairly high on this 3/9/11 date, with 15hrs. of medium downpour before the sampling time.The water was turbid and 3 to 4 feet deep.Site #1(upstream, above pipe C) was at 2400col./dl. Site #5 (downstream, under bridge) was about the same, 2200col./dl. Pipe C was low in coliforms (700/dl), but on a plate we left at room temp, before we had a chance to photograph it, the environmental bacteria had a chance to grow out, and were very high in their count. The coliforms were blue, and the env. bacteria were not, but it looks like pipe C carries drainage from the surface (along side 8th street, above the creek?), since that is where most of the env. bacteria are.
