Water Quality Test: Membrane filtration (mTEC medium + urea
method)
L = Little River Estuary, M = Merriland River, BB = Branch
Brook, TNTC = too numerous to count, blank cell = no data available
Decimal figures are sometimes presented because two dilutions
were run and averaged, or a plate was counted twice for quality control and
the results were averaged.
Fecal coliform reported as CFU/100mL (colony forming units per 100mL of sample water)
