We will test for nitrogen, phosphorous, turbidity, pH and temperature. We will also be able to use new equipment purchased through a 319 grant, including a GPS unit that can measure area, a YSI multi-parameter meter, a turbidity meter and hand-held pH and TDS meters.
A session will also be held July 11. This activity is free and open to the public, but reservations must be made for borrowed boats by calling or emailing Holly Spring at (919) 554-3158 or hspring@wakeforestnc.gov.
