Day 2
Today we used a labquest enviromental earth lab to calculate the water quality of two spots of previously mined areas. Our group tested at Yellow Creek and just north of douglas falls.
The first stop was yellow creek and at a glance the area looks healthy, we even found wild blueberries and reinder moss (which is a living lichen). when we approached the creek it was very clear but had no signs of life. We found the pH to be right at 4. but the overall quality all things considered. . . Dissolved oxygen, condictivity( dissolved solids.),temperature, pH, turbitity. . . To be medium to good quality. Which was surprising to us.
