MonitoringLocationDescriptionText A stock pond, the only perennial surfacewater body in the study area, is surrounded by fenced pasture and is in an area used for park maintenance. The pond is not accessed by visitors. The stock pond has no apparent inflows other than storm runoff from surrounding lands, precipitation, and possibly groundwater discharge. Fewer than 10 head of livestock (cattle, horses, or sheep) use the pasture at any time. This site was selected for sampling because it represents possible nonpoint agricultural effects on water quality.
