Nutrients Sampling
Nutrient samples were collected from seven river stations on February 21st. In the five days prior to sampling, there were 0.05 inches of precipitation recorded at T.F. Green.
Among the stations sampled, the highest total nitrogen (TN), total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), and dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) concentrations were observed at Pawtuxet River @ Broad St (TN = 1,280 ppb, TDN = 1,250 ppb, DIN = 1,100 ppb, average of duplicates). The lowest TN, TDN, and DIN were observed at Moshassuck River @ Higginson Ave. (TN = 722 ppb, TDN = 676 ppb, DIN = 561 ppb, average of duplicates).
The next scheduled sampling date is March 6, 2024.
