MonitoringLocationDescriptionText The Danvers River sampling station was downstream of various tributaries to the Danvers River. The Danvers River was sampled from the public pier, opposite the Route 107 Bridge. This sampling location is affected by salt water, but the samples were collected at outgoing low tide to minimize offshore dilution and maximize, as much as possible, the contribution from the upstream urbanized watershed.
