Details: | SUMMARY: Alert: Positive Result for a Routine Coliform Sample 10/09/07 DETAILS: The Hood River County Health Department received an Alert by electronic messaging (e-mail) on Thursday October 11, 2007 @ 4:19 PM for the USFS Wyeth Campground in response to a positive result for a routine coliform sample collected October 9, 2007-- the sample was negative for E-coli and fecal coliform. The HRCHD spoke with the DRC on Monday October 16,2007.The HRCHD discussed dye tracers and the possible source for coliform. Additionally, discussion revisited the possibility of a leak in a connection to an old diversion to feed steam cars-- this was later dismissed since the connection is no longer viable. The DRC also confirmed that the PWS is closed for the season. Ongoing investigations are evaluating the integrity of the well. An observation was made that the SWL has dropped 10 for the last time it was evaluated (June 2004 and Feb 1962). ACTION NEEDED: Additional SWL data points will be collected at least quarterly (perhaps monthly) and coincidental bacteriological samples collected to determine if there is a correlation. The Hood River County Health Department will continue to work with the USFS Wyeth Campground to assure potable water is restored. Efforts to determine the point source for the contamination are ongoing. | ||
