Synoptic Monitoring Event on September 19, 2024
for Taughannock Creek under Base Flow conditions
Notes: Event Time = Time of sampling (Eastern Time) at stream mouth (Taughannock Falls); Taughannock Falls (TGF) - Water flow looked like it was coming backwards from Cayuga Lake up Frontenac Creek. Observed this thru leaves on water surface going up creek; Halseyville Road (TGH) - Slow creek flow; (1) TKN & (3) NOx samples froze due to refrigerator problem at the lab, results not reportable.
