Pollution survey of Claytor Lake

Dodge, Peter Cook, Eye, John David January 1949 (has links)
The conclusions of this survey should be considered with the fact in mind that it was in the nature of a preliminary or reconnaisance rather than a final survey. While the authors feel that the conclusions drawn are justified by their test results it should be realized that the data is not comprehensive or complete enough to draw any final conclusions regarding the overall sanitary condition of the lake. Considering the test results, the following conclusions and recommendations are presented: 1. There is evidence of pollution throughout the portions of the lake tested, during the extent of the sampling season. 2. The pollution at Sections 1, 2, and 3 showed a tendency of being localized in relatively narrow well defined channels, while that at Section 4 seemed to be dispersed throughout the cross section. 3. The water in the vicinity of the V.P.I. property and the upstream part of the state park property would, in general, meet the various bacteriological requirements of health departments for bathing areas. 4. The water just below the proposed bathing area at the downstream part of the state park showed evidence of pollution in amounts which might make the use of this area questionable unless careful control is maintained by frequent bacteriological tests. 5. There was no evidence of a trend or fluctuation in pollution during the period of study. 6. In general, there was no correlation between the results of the bacteriological tests and the chemical and physical results. / M.S.
