Summary+of+Chemical+Data

Our academic biology classes traveled to Cloe Lake on May 17 this year to test the water. Almost all of the results were either in between the good rating or only slightly over. The pH level was very good. The numbers, 6.4 and 6.9, were in between a very good range on the scale. The rain may have affected the tests a little. The turbidity could be somewhat higher than normal along with the iron level due to this. The iron level was only off by .2 and this may be because of run-off. The nitrates were a little high, but it was still a good number of 8.8. After looking at the chemical results, it seems Jackson Run and Cloe Lake are both rather clean and healthy.
