Kenai Watershed Forum has received all laboratory results from it’s Spring 2025 Baseline Water Quality Monitoring. The results are currently being prepared for upload to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Water Quality Exchange, a public data repository for water quality data.
Once the data is prepared, it will be integrated into an in-progress comprehensive summary report, similar to our previous such report published in 2016.
The results are preliminary and have not yet been subject to QA/QC checks or analyzed against water quality standards; this work is in progress.
We worked with two laboratories in Spring 2025:
1.) Soldotna Wastewater Treatment Plant – SWWTP provided analyses of Total Suspended Solids and Fecal Coliform:
