Assistance Type: MONITORING
Reasons: Cyanotoxins
 
Details: Upon reviewing historical cyanotoxins monitoring data, OHA came across a lab report for Ontario showing a detection of Microcystin-RR (a microcystin congener) at 0.26 ug/L in raw river water for a sample collected 8/26/14. As a result, OHA is requiring cyanotoxins monitoring be done by Ontario according to OAR 333-061-0510 through 0580. Analysis will be performed by the DEQ lab in Hillsboro. Notified Ontario this date and that DEQ lab will be contacting them soon to discuss sampling logistics. First sampling event scheduled for week of 9/8/25.
