Kelley sampled McSorley Creek on August 30. We observed that stream flow data, acquired from the King County database, indicated that stream level and stream flow were low. Dissolved oxygen was below the minimum concentration for a healthy aquatic environment. No turbidity was detected. Alkalinity and hardness were above the recommended minimum, and the pH reading was slightly alkaline, but normal. The E. Coli count was above the standard for a single sample, and exceeded the three-month geometric mean standard for recreational activity.

Kelley sampled McSorley Creek on July 5, and Bob and Kathy sampled on July 22. For this post, stream flow and water level data were acquired from the King County database. Dissolved oxygen was below the minimum concentration for a healthy aquatic environment. No turbidity was detected. Alkalinity and hardness were above the recommended minimum, and the pH reading was slightly alkaline, but normal. The E. Coli count was within the standard for a single sample, but exceeded the three-month geometric mean standard for recreational activity. The King County results from four rain events showed E. Coli counts substantially higher.

On June 17, Bob and Kathy Leber sampled McSorley Creek. In the report, Stream flow and water level data were acquired from the King County database. Dissolved oxygen was below the minimum concentration for a healthy aquatic environment. No turbidity was detected. Alkalinity and hardness were above the recommended minimum, and the pH reading was slightly alkaline, but normal. The E. Coli count has been low, and the three-month geometric mean meets the standard for recreational activity; however, the King County results on June 9 showed E. Coli counts substantially higher. It is noted that the stream flow was very high on the date the King County data was collected.
