In 2018, sanctuary and City staff, will sample six sites on six separate occasions within the Greenwood Park watershed for bacteria (E. coli and enterococcus), and human specific bacteroides (HF 183). These sites were chosen based on previous monitoring in this drainage and knowledge that human specific bacteroides is possibly still present in the system. Samples will be collected and taken to a certified lab and tested for E. coli, enterococcus, and HF 183 using qPCR analytical methods. Sites for the monitoring include: • Greenwood Park outfall • 14th between Central and Lighthouse • 14th at Laurel • 14th at Pine • drain in the grassy school yard of Robert Down School • 14th at Junipero 2nd and Terry

Goals

To determine sources of human sourced bacteria (HF 183) within the Greenwood Park watershed.
