Hide Line numbers
1: In this space, I include the results of scientific investigations into the sources, fate, and transport of pathogens (and their indicators) in Newport Bay, California.  These studies were funded by a grant from the State Water Resources Control Board, with matching funds from the County of Orange, in support of the fecal coliform total maximum daily load (TMDL) program.
