We sampled the ravine and lake water on March 13th at 1:05pm, the lake sample used 1ml of water there were 31 colonies, the creek sample used 1 ml of water and had 120 colonies +/- 10 colonies. The pH results were as follows:  at all the places tested in the stream, the pH was 8.5.  The lake had a pH of 7.75.  Temperature in the creek ranged from 12-17.5 degrees celcius, the temperature of the lake was 10 degrees celcius.  The total suspended solids (TSS) showed that the lake was less clear than the creek.  For the creek we recorded 35 mg/l and the lake was 10 mg/l.
