Deckers Creek Gorge is sampled Monthly from January 1st to December 31st
Friends of Deckers Creek (FODC) staff, interns, and volunteers monitor water quality throughout the Deckers Creek Watershed. Popular recreation sites are tested for total coliform and E coli as part of FODC’s bacteriological monitoring program. Samples are analyzed using the IDEXX Quanti-Tray/2000 method. Sites are tested twice a month during peak recreation season (May - September) and once a month during the rest of the year (October - April). Samples are generally collected on Tuesdays and results are posted on Swim Guide within 48 hours. Advisories are posted when E coli concentrations exceed 410 cfu/100mL, following the EPA’s recommended criteria. A beach is marked green when results show that E coli is less than 410 cfu/100mL. A beach will be marked red when results show that E coli is greater or equal to 410 cfu/100mL. Please contact FODC at (304) 292-3970 or info@deckerscreek.org if you have any questions or would like to volunteer to collect water samples. You may report pollution anonymously online via https://www.creekdog.org/.
