Monitoring  Project  on  the  Conestoga  River  a  success.    We
particularly commend the citizens who have volunteered their time
to collect the data presented in this report.

     Cynthia  A.  Dunn  and  Gayla  Campbell,  Alliance  for  the
Chesapeake Bay, have made  significant contributions to the success
of  this  project.    Ms.  Dunn  recruited  most  of  the  original
volunteers  and  helped to  plan and implement  the  quality control
sessions.   Ms.  Campbell  helped with  general management  of  the
project in 1989-90 and helped put together the site descriptions.
Linda Clews, Alliance Intern in 1986-87  contributed to the original
implementation of the project.

     Mr. Samuel C. Wenger,  Manheim  Central High School, provided
invaluable historical perspectives and copies of the reports of the
data collected  by  Lancaster County students  in the  mid- 1970's.
Mr.  Stephen  J.  Cummings, President  of  the  Conestoga  Valley
Association  was particularly  helpful  during  the  planning  and
recruiting phase of the project.  Volunteer  Monitors, Donna Bucher,
Bill  Ebel,  and  Marylin  Ebel  have  given  many  hours  of  project
coordinating time in  addition to their diligent sampling.  Ms. Ebel
currently serves as the Volunteer Project Coordinator.

     U.S. Geological Survey, Harrisburg, PA personnel have donated
time and much  needed advice on all aspects of  this  project.   We
wish to thank Jerry Hollowell,  Susquehanna River Basin Commission
for his  support and  for  the  use of their nitrate data.   USEPA
Central  Regional Laboratory  personnel  through  their  interest,
advice and time, made a unique contribution to the credibility of
this data.   The  assistance of the Potomac Edison Electric Company's
Chalk  Point  Monitoring Laboratory and  staff in  determining  the
comparability of turbidity results is appreciated.
                           ENDORSEMENT

     The  Chesapeake  Bay  Program  Monitoring  Subcommittee  has
reviewed  the  assumptions and methods of data  analysis used in this

SUMMARY

     The Alliance for the  Chesapeake Bay, Inc.  (ACB) began a pilot
water quality testing project  using volunteers  in July 1985 as one
of the activities funded  under  its Chesapeake  Bay  Program public
participation grant from USEPA.   This initial project was carried
out in the tidal portions of  the  James  River in Virginia and the
Patuxent River in Maryland.  Volunteers were recruited and trained
to test water  quality in  the Conestoga River  in Pennsylvania in
October 1986.

     The major objective of the  Conestoga River Citizen Monitoring
Project is to track  concentration  of nitrate in the ambient waters
of the Conestoga River with the  intent of answering the questions:
I) Has the level of  nitrate in the river changed over time? and 2)
Is there a downward trend in observed nitrate?

     Four water  quality parameters  are measured weekly  at seven
sites  located  on  the banks  of  the  Conestoga  River  between
Brownstown and Safe Harbor:   water and air temperature,  dissolved
oxygen, nitrate + nitrite  (N023),  and turbidity.  Monitors report
weekly accumulated rainfall if they have a sufficiently clear space
to install a  rain gage near the site.   In addition, monitors record
weather and general ecological observations about the site.  Data
Collection Forms  are sent to the Coordinator  and the  data  are
stored on-line at the Chesapeake Bay Computer Center in Annapolis,
MD.

     This report summarizes the water quality data collected by the
Conestoga River volunteer  monitors with particular emphasis on the
concentration of nitrate.   Although  nitrate values  appear  to be
somewhat higher in the winter, there  is not a consistent seasonal
pattern in the nitrate data for all stations or all years.

     The nitrate concentrations measured by the Susquehanna River
Basin Commission  (SRBC) during  high  flow periods at  a  site near
Conestoga, Pennsylvania were compared  with results  obtained by
volunteers at nearby sites during the same period.   The citizen's
data and the  SRBC guage  data were averaged by week and then matched
in pairs.  There were  37  weeks  of data  for the SRBC station and
citizen station 10;  19 weeks of data  for SRBC and station 11;  and
21 weeks that the SRBC station and citizen  stations 10 and 11 both
had data.  While the nitrate levels for sites 10 and 11 were highly
correlated,  there was  a relatively small  correlation between either
site 10 or site 11 and the SRBC guage.

     Lastly we compared seasonal means of nitrate concentrations in
the river measured by  high school  students in  1975-76 with those
measured by the Chesapeake Bay Citizen Monitoring Program (CBCMP)
in 1987-90.   No change  in nitrate mean concentration for the fall
sampling period is apparent.   However, the nitrate concentrations
in the spring appear to have increased since 1976.   This would be

-------
expected since animal numbers in  Lancaster  County have increased
during this period of  time,  while crop land acreage  on  which to
apply manure has decreased.

     There appears to be a slight relationship between rainfall and
nitrate for the citizen monitoring data.  The relationship was not
a strong one but it was consistent. There seems to a be a positive
relationship between turbidity and rainfall.  Although  it varied by
site, an increase in daily rainfall was associated with increased
turbidity values and vice versa.

     Low dissolved  oxygen (DO)   was  not observed  at  any  of the
citizen monitoring sites.  The DO remained at or above 5 milligrams
per liter  (mg/1) at  nearly all times.

     The  following  recommendations  are  offered concerning  the
direction and continuation of this project:

     1. Discontinue  the weekly determination of dissolved oxygen.

     2. Emphasize the  importance of consistency in data collection
     so that  fewer  gaps  in  the  data record  occur.   This  will
     greatly enhance the statistical power of the  data to determine
     trends.

     3. Place more  emphasis on carrying out  the quality assurance
     of the testing procedures paying particular attention to the
     nitrate and turbidity kit reagents.

     4. Obtain  funding to document  the field  observations  with
     analyses by certified laboratories.

INTRODUCTION

     The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay,  Inc.  (ACB) began a pilot
water quality testing project  using volunteers  in July 1985 as one
of the activities funded  under  its Chesapeake  Bay  Program public
participation grant from USEPA.   This initial project was carried
out in the tidal portions of  the  James  River in Virginia and the
Patuxent River Maryland.   Volunteers were  recruited and trained to
test  water  quality  in the  Conestoga River  in Pennsylvania  in
October  1986.    The  Chesapeake  Bay  Citizen  Monitoring  Program
(CBCMP) currently has  volunteers monitoring in 14 watersheds in the
Chesapeake Bay drainage basin.

     The  establishment  of  such  a  program  was   suggested  in
"Volunteer Monitoring  Program,  Chesapeake Bay:  A  Framework for
Action, Appendix F,  Attachment 5" (USEPA 1983).  In response to a
request from the Chesapeake Bay  Program Monitoring Subcommittee,
ACB established an ad  hoc committee to  analyze and report on the
desirability and feasibility of citizen monitoring  efforts and to
provide specific recommendations.   The committee's  proposal was
presented  to   and   accepted  by  the  Chesapeake   Bay  Program
Implementation Committee in February 1985  (CPB 1987a).  A report on
the Chesapeake Bay  Citizen Monitoring  Program and analysis of data
collected on the James and Patuxent Rivers,  July 1985 to October
1988 was published in 1989 (Ellett,  et al. 1989).

     Data collected by volunteers  augments information gathered in
the Chesapeake Bay  Monitoring  Program  begun in  1984.  This program
collects  data  at  over 165  stations  Bay-wide.   The  Monitoring
Program's major objectives are to determine  long-term trends and
the driving forces  behind them,  and to establish the link between
water quality and the  health  of  the Bay's living resources.   The
monitoring program should help to distinguish  the  effects on the
Bay from natural events (e.g., flows and salinities) and from man-
induced pollutants  (such as excessive nutrients) (CBP 1987b) .   It is
well documented that several years are necessary to separate trends
from natural variability  in  complex  ecological systems  like the
Chesapeake Bay.   This program  is making monitoring  information
widely available so that it  can be  used to  help  managers  make
decisions about the Bay's future.

     Volunteer monitoring that delivers data of known quality can
augment the  Baywide program  and  help to determine  seasonal and
temporal changes in Bay waters and to evaluate the water quality
status  of selected  tributaries.    Specifically,  volunteers can
contribute by:

     o providing long-term water  quality  data  in areas  which are
     not routinely  monitored  (e.g. nearshore  habitats, small tidal
     creeks);

-------
     o providing more frequent sampling to yield time-series data
     with the large number of points required to establish response
     and lag times in changes;

     o capturing data on short-lived  phenomena  of interest (e.g.
     storms);

     o  providing observational  information  on  weather,  living
     resources,  and site conditions, and

     o answering short-term research questions.

     A well-coordinated, long-term volunteer monitoring program can
also  promote  active  stewardship  of  natural  resources  by local
residents;  provide  an  early  warning  of  problems  in  stormwater
management, sediment  control, and sewage contamination; and further
educate the general public and concerned public officials regarding
the Bay.

     USEPA  believes  citizen monitoring programs  can help  fill data
gaps and has promoted and supported this concept by:

     o sponsoring two national workshops on volunteer monitoring;
      (USEPA 1988 and USEPA 1990b)

     o publishing a directory of volunteer monitoring organizations
      (USEPA 1990a);

     o  sponsoring   the  publication   of   a   national   volunteer
     monitoring newsletter;

     o producing  a  volunteer water quality monitoring  guide for
     state managers  (USEPA 1990c); and

     o conducting on-site training for volunteers participating in
     new monitoring programs in near coastal waters.
PURPOSE OF PROGRAM AND REPORT

     The main objective of the Conestoga River Citizen Monitoring
Project  is to  track concentration  of nitrate  nitrogen  in  the
Conestoga River.  We hope to answer questions such as:

     o   Has  the level of  nitrate in the river  changed over the
     sampling period?

     o  Is there a downward trend in observed nitrate?

     o  Is there any relationship between the recorded rainfall and
     nitrate values?

-------
     This report summarizes the water quality data collected by the
Conestoga River volunteer monitors with particular emphasis on the
concentration of nitrate.  We also compared nitrate concentrations
measured by the Susquehanna River Basin Commission during high flow
periods at  a  site  near Conestoga,  Pennsylvania  (about  2.6  miles
upstream from  the  mouth of the  river)  with results  obtained by
volunteers at nearby sites during the  same period. Lastly, we have
compared seasonal means of nitrate-N  concentrations  in  the  river
measured by high school students  in 1975-76 with those measured by
CBCMP in 1987-90.
BACKGROUND ON CONESTOGA WATERSHED

     The Conestoga  River drains 477  square miles  of  Lancaster,
Lebanon, and Berks counties  from its source near Elverson, Pa., to
its  confluence  with the Susquehanna River  60 miles  west.   In
colonial times,  the  Conestoga  River was a  clear,  pristine river
abounding with a variety of  organisms such  as  sponges,  mollusks,
insect larvae, amphibians, reptiles, and  fish of different species.
It was relatively  pure  and clear with minimal erodible material in
its waters even  during  occasional heavy  rains.  By the mid-1970's,
however, the Conestoga  was  plagued by  pollutants  from  municipal
sewage treatment effluent, industrial waste, feed lot seepage, and
agricultural runoff  (CVA 1976).

     It was the  apparent degraded condition of the Conestoga River
that prompted the  organization of the Conestoga Valley Association
in  1956.   The purpose  of  this  organization  was  to  improve the
environment  and water   quality  of  the  Conestoga  River  basin by
eliminating   stream  pollution   and   reducing   soil   erosion.
Recognizing  that   the   completion   of  such  a  task  cannot  be
accomplished  without substantial  data,  observations  and  other
information,  the Association took action in 1973 to engage junior
and senior high school  faculty  of  Lancaster County  schools in an
educational program for students concerning possible solutions to
water quality problems  in the waters of the Conestoga River and its
feeder streams.

     Actual monitoring  of water  samples began  during  the fall of
the 1973-74 school year with five schools participating.  A report
of  data  collected on the Conestoga  mainstem by  students  during
October through December in  1975 and March  through  April in 1976
was published by  the Conestoga  Valley  Association in  1976  (CVA
1976) .

     Most of the Conestoga River watershed is in Lancaster County
which  has  seen an  increase  in population  of  50% since  1950.
Approximately  two-thirds   of    the   County  is   classified  as
agricultural land  with only 15  percent urban ,  residential,  or
commercial.  Farmers have grown corn,  tobacco,  and other crops here
since the early 1700's.  In recent  times,  dairy and poultry farms

-------
have become a common feature.  Between 1970 and 1980, the number of
livestock  in  Lancaster County  increased by  260,000.   By  1984,
livestock  and  poultry  accounted  for  nearly  two-thirds  of  all
agricultural production.  In  fact,  Lancaster  County  now has more
dairy cows  per  acre  than any  other locale in the United States
(Alliance 1987;  PA DER 1980; PA DER 1989).

     Nitrogen is essential  for plant growth,  but  the presence of
excessive  amounts  in  water supplies  presents a  major  pollution
problem.  Nitrogen compounds may  enter as nitrates or be converted
to nitrates from agricultural fertilizers, sewage, industrial and
packing house wastes,  drainage from livestock feeding areas, farm
manures and legumes.   Nitrates in  large  amounts  can  cause  "blue
babies  syndrome"   (methemoglobinemia)  in infants  less  than  six
months of age  (Fishel and Leitman 1986) .   It  is an important factor
to be considered  in  livestock production, where,  in  addition to
causing  methemoglobinemia,   it  is  responsible   for  many  other
symptoms arising from the presence of high  levels of nitrates in
water supplies.   Nitrates in conjunction with phosphate stimulate
the growth of algae with all of the  related difficulties associated
with excessive algae.  (LaMotte)

     In  1981,  The U.S.  Geological  Survey  and the  Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Resources began evaluating stream and
ground water quality in the headwaters of the Conestoga. This study
is part  of  the  nationwide Rural Clean Water  Program designed to
promote  and  monitor  the  effects  of  agricultural  management
practices on water quality.   Data collected early in  this project
indicate  that   high  concentrations and large  nonpoint  source
discharges  of nitrate  occur  in  the Conestoga  (Gerhart  1986  and
Fishel & Lietman 1986).

     Comprehensive monitoring tests in the headwaters region have
also shown that more than 40 percent of private well water supplies
tested in 1986 have levels of nitrate in excess of  the EPA standard
of 10 milligrams per liter  (mg/1).   These high concentrations are
closely  associated  with  agricultural  practices  and  geology.
Transport  of nitrate through  ground water in areas  underlain by
carbonate rocks  is rapid; therefore, proper management of soluble
nutrients is especially important in these areas  (Gerhart  1986).

     It  is important  to continue monitoring  to determine  the
effectiveness of these practices.   Such information  will help in
making proper management decisions that will protect  agricultural
land, local water  supplies, the Conestoga River, Susquehanna River,
and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay  (Fishel & Lietman 1986; Gerhart
1986; USDA  1987).

PROJECT ORGANIZATION AND IMPLEMENTATION

Administration

     Representatives  of  several Pennsylvania  agencies  formed  a
consensus planning  group  that provided guidance to  the Alliance
while  organizing   the  Conestoga   Citizen   Monitoring  Project.
Individuals  from  the  Susquehanna  River  Basin  Commission,  US
Geological Survey, PA Department of Environmental Resources Bureaus
of Water Quality Management,  Soil and Water Conservation and State
Parks, PA Chesapeake Bay Education Office,  and Pennsylvania State
University were present at the  planning meeting  that was held in
June of 1986.

     The  Conestoga Valley  Association  and the  Chesapeake  Bay
Foundation  were helpful  in   locating  individuals  interested  in
becoming volunteer monitors.  A newspaper article and word-of-mouth
helped recruit enough people for ten sites between Hinkeltown and
Safe Harbor.  The recruits were asked  to  commit  to taking weekly
samples for at least one year and possibly  longer.  Sufficient data
to be included in this report has been  collected from seven of the
ten sites.  Six sites are currently being monitored.

     Only one of the sites  is  monitored  by volunteers  who  live
along the waterway, with the  rest having to  drive  or walk to the
site  each  week.    Monitoring  sites   were  selected  based  on
convenience  for  the available  volunteers as long as  sites  were
spaced out along the length of the river.

     Previous experience  with volunteer monitoring  programs has
established  that  a  successful  program  needs to  have  clearly
established  data quality  objectives   (DQO's)  identified  at  the
outset of the data  collection effort.   A Quality Assurance Project
Plan  (QAPjP)  was  prepared  and accepted  by  the Chesapeake  Bay
Program Quality  Assurance  Officer  (QAO)  (USEPA  1986) .  The initial
testing of methods  for use in the CBCMP was  conducted at the EPA
Central Regional Laboratory, Annapolis,  MD under the supervision of
the  CBP  QAO  and  various  other  chemists   and  technicians.
Instruments  and  methods used were  chosen based  on  simplicity of
use, cost, and  accuracy.   Every possible  effort  has  been made to
use  methods  that  are comparable  to  those  employed by  the  CBP
Monitoring  Program.   Where   methods  are  necessarily  different,
methods  comparison  tests have been  performed  and  degree  of
comparability has been determined.  The  units  reported are the same
as those in the CBP Monitoring Program.

     The standard deviations  (SD)  for  the values  are reported in
Table 1.  The precision reported in  Table 1 is  the range of values
expected  from the   volunteers  versus   a value  determined  by the
coordinator on the  same sample.  Accuracy  is the range of values
expected from the field analysis versus a value determined

by a qualified water-quality laboratory using a standard analytical
method.

     The volunteers  initially  attend a 3-hour  training session.
These sessions include the viewing  of  an  introductory slide show
followed  by  a  demonstration  and  carrying  out  of  the  test
procedures.  Volunteers unable to attend a session are trained by
the coordinator individually.   Each volunteer undergoes a quality
control check each year during which all volunteers test the same
water  with their equipment in the  way  they do  it at  home  and
results are compared to those  of  the coordinator.   Their results
then provide a measure of how  well they perform as a group or how
precisely  they  measure  the   characteristics  and  constituents
required.

     Volunteer monitors are asked to collect  data and samples once
a week  year  round	a  potential of  52 observations per site  per
year.  However, it is  assumed  that  some weeks  will be missed for
vacations,  illness,  and severe  weather  (i.e.  wind, flooding, ice).
Therefore,  48 observations per  year  are considered to constitute a
complete data set for a given  site.

     Four  water  quality parameters  are measured weekly  at each
site:  water (and  air)  temperature,  dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate
+  nitrite   (N023),  and   turbidity.    Monitors  report  weekly
accumulated rainfall if  they  have a sufficiently  clear space to
install a rain  gage near the site.  Rain gages are not installed at
sites  that are not  on private  property  because  they  might  be
vandalized or tampered with.

     The thermometers,  DO titration,  turbidity,  and N03-N kits are
manufactured by LaMotte Chemical Products, Inc., Chestertown,  MD.
Each volunteer  monitor  is supplied with a Citizen Monitoring Manual
which was  prepared  specially  for this  program  (ACB  1986) .   The
Manual  gives  step  by  step  instructions  for  all sampling  and
analysis procedures  as well as  brief background material on what
the test results mean.

     In addition,  information  on weather and general observations
about the  site  (live or  dead  organisms, debris, oil slicks, ice,
odor,  water color,  anything  unusual)  is   recorded   on  a  Data
Collection Form (see  Figure 1)  and sent to  the project coordinator.
Data are entered into a computer file stored  in  the Chesapeake Bay
Program Computer Data Base.  SAS software is  used to generate plots
and graphics of the various parameters versus time.

     Surface water  samples were  obtained in  a bucket  from  the
water's edge.  Armored  thermometers  reading  from -5.0° to +45.0° C
were  used  to  determine  air and  water temperature.    They were
calibrated with precision  thermometers  which had been calibrated
with NBS certified thermometers.

-------
                                                               10

     The test for dissolved oxygen is made using a water analysis
kit which employs a modified Winkler  method.   We have determined
the bias in  DO  values  to be -\+ 0.3  mg/1.   Monitors  titrate two
samples at  each  sampling time.  If the difference between the first
two is  greater  than  0.6 mg/1,  they do  a  third titration.  The
average of  the two closer values  is recorded.  If values differing
by more than  0.9 mg/1  are reported with no  third test  done,  the
results are not entered in the file.  Less  than  25  (of over 4000
observations) DO measurements have been determined to be above the
upper control limit  of 0.9 mg/1 difference.

     The LaMotte  nitrate  + nitrite  testing  kit  uses  powdered
cadmium  to  reduce  nitrate  to  nitrite.    The  nitrite  that  is
originally   present  plus  reduced  nitrate   is   determined  by
diazotizing   sulfanilamide   and   coupling   with   N-(naphthyl)-
ethylenediamine dihydrochloride to form a highly colored azo dye
which is measured colorimetrically using a color comparator.  The
range of 0.25 to 10.0 ppm  can  be extended by dilution  with de-
ionized water.   Protocol requires that  a diluted sample  be run
whenever the first  sample shows a concentration of 10.0 ppm.

     In the  winter  of  1988-89  unusually  low concentrations  of
nitrate led  a  volunteer  to question the  test  procedure.   The
volunteer was issued new  chemical reagents  and a comparison with
results using old reagents indicated that the old reagents produced
significantly lower  values.   LaMotte subsequently determined that
the cadmium reducing reagent is very sensitive to humidity.  This
reagent is  now  packaged  in a  bottle with  a  desiccant  and the
monitors are cautioned to store the reagent in a dry place and to
avoid getting  moisture  in  the container.   All volunteers were
issued new  reagents  shortly thereafter with instructions to begin
using  them.    Nitrate concentrations lower  than  expected were
reported at Eden, Rockhill Dam, and Grofftown Road between October
1988 and March 1989. Concentrations at Safe  Harbor drop in October
1988  and  remain  low  until  September  1989.    The results are,
therefore,     compromised making it  difficult  to  draw  strong
conclusions about the possible changes in nitrate concentrations in
the river.

     Turbidity  was   estimated   by a visual  method  in  Jackson
Turbidity Units.  The LaMotte  turbidity kit uses a drop count of
standardized turbidity solution  (Fuller's earth)  over two ranges;
5-100 JTU  in 5  JTU  increments, 10-200 JTU  in  10 JTU increments.
LaMotte calibrates  the reagent  with a  Jackson Candle Turbidimeter.
Measured drops of the reagent are added to tap water  in a test tube
with  a  black dot at the  bottom  until the  appearance  of the dot
matches that of  a tube containing a sample of the  river water to be
tested.

     We  attempted  to  install  river height gages  in  order  to
estimate flow  and  volume of water in the  river at  the  time of
sampling.  US Geological  Survey donated  staff gaging materials and

                                                               11

personnel to install  staff gages at the sites.  USGS personnel then
trained Alliance staff and volunteers in measuring river profiles
at the monitoring  sites.  A subsequent flood washed out most of the
gages.   River  stage  was recorded  at the  sites  with  gages  for
several  months.    USGS  personnel  used  this data  to  determine
discharge at time of sampling by the volunteer.

     The error in  estimating  discharge at the sites without having
stream profiles at varying river stages, as  well as more accurately
determined  profiles,  was  approximately   20%.    This  level  of
precision could probably be  attained by developing  an  estimated
constant factor for  flow and volume at a  volunteer  site  for any
given  time  based  on  a  proration  of watershed  area   above  the
volunteer site  with  the  watershed area above either of two USGS
gaging stations in operation  on the Conestoga.  This may  be done in
the  future  if the quality of  the nitrate  concentration  data is
deemed  sufficiently  high  to  allow  loading  estimates  to  be
determined.
RESULTS

     The  major  objective  of  this  project  is  to  track  the
concentration of nitrate  in  the ambient waters  of  the Conestoga
River with the intent of answering the questions,  "Has the level of
nitrate in the  river  changed over time? and  Is  there  a downward
trend in observed nitrate?"

     Figure 1 shows the location of the citizen monitoring sites,
Lancaster  Co.  School  sites,  the location  of the  US  Geological
Survey and Susquehanna  River Basin Commission  (SRBC)  gaging and
sampling station,  and the location of two sewage treatment plants
(STP) .   The  upper  plant was  closed in  1988  and  waste  water from
Lancaster is  now treated at the South Lancaster STP which opened in
May  1988  and has the capability of removing  nutrients  from the
effluent.

     Nutrient  monitoring  of the  Conestoga  River  by SRBC  has
indicated no change in  the nitrogen loading for  the period 1985-
1989, but shows a slight decrease in the phosphorus  load for 1988
and a significant decrease for 1989.  This decrease  is attributed
largely to the  decreased phosphorus  concentration in the Lancaster
STP effluent.  The  STP effluent monitoring data show a significant
decrease  in   ammonia  concentration   but  the  nitrate-nitrogen
concentration has concurrently increased.  This is most likely due
to the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate nitrogen  (Ott,  1990).

     Although nitrate values  reported  by  the Conestoga volunteer
monitors appear to be somewhat higher in the winter, there is not
a consistent  seasonal  pattern in the nitrate  data for all stations
or all years.   Visual inspection of the  monthly average nitrate
data indicated that some stations might exhibit a  downward trend in

nitrate  over  the   period  of  record.    A  Seasonal  Kendall
nonparametric test for trend was applied to each site and, in fact,
the  observed  trend at   stations   8  and  10  was  statistically
significant  (p<.05).   It must be  emphasized  that the  period of
record is still too  short  and  uneven  to place much confidence in
our ability to measure trends.   Since accurate flow measurements
were not available  at each site,  it was not  possible  to apply a
flow-adjusted Seasonal Kendall  test.   In addition, the measurement
problems in the nitrate data which were discussed earlier preclude
making  inferences about  these numbers.   In  future years  when
adequate data  are available,  we should be able to  determine if
nitrate levels are in fact decreasing.  With the additional data,
a time series  analysis which accounts  for  the serial correlation
should be applied.

     There does appear to be a slight relationship between rainfall
and nitrate  for  the citizen  monitoring data.   Since  these  are
weekly time  series  data,  some serial  correlation  is  expected.
Therefore,   an accurate  significance  test for the  correlation
coefficient cannot be readily obtained.  However, for all sites, an
increase in  daily rainfall was  associated with  lowered nitrate
values and  vice  versa.    The  relationship was  not a  strong  one
(Spearman rank order correlation approximately  -0.20)  but  it  was
consistent.   We cannot conclude that  increases  in rainfall cause
reduction in nitrate concentrations without a more sophisticated
analysis,  since other factors  could be  influencing this apparent
association.   However, this correlation demonstrates the importance
of also  examining rainfall patterns  when  testing for  trends in
nitrate.      It  should   be  noted   that  even   though  nitrate
concentrations appear to be decreasing with increased rainfall, ,
the nitrate load may actually be increasing due  to the increase in
streamflow.

     Rainfall   and   turbidity   values   were   also   examined
simultaniously.   As one would expect,  there  does  seem to be a
positive relationship between turbidity  and rainfall.  Although it
varied by site, an increase in  daily rainfall  was associated with
increased turbidity values and vice versa.  Across  all sites  the
Spearman rank order correlation was  approximately  .39 indicating a
moderate relationship.

     The nitrate  concentrations measured by the Susquehanna River
Basin Commission  during  high  flow  periods were compared  to  the
concentrations reported  by the  volunteers.  The  citizen's data and
the SRBC gauge data were  averaged by week and then matched.  There
were 37 weeks of data for the SRBC and station 10, and 19 weeks of
data for SRBC and station 11,  and 21 weeks that station 10 and 11
both had data.  While the nitrate levels for sites 10 and 11 were
highly correlated  (Spearman rank order  correlation,  r=.75)  there
was a relatively  small  correlation between either site 10 or site
11 and the SRBC gauge (r = .18  and r =  .20 respectively).

     Figure  2  shows  the  comparison  of  seasonal means  between
nitrite + nitrate concentrations measured by students involved in
the  Conestoga  Valley  Association's  Conestoga River  Monitoring
Program and those measured by CBCMP volunteers.  The student data
are from October-December 1975 and March-May 1976 (CVA 1976) .  Hach
colorimeters were used  to measure nitrate.  The  CBCMP  data were
averaged by  year  for  October through December  1987-89  and April
through June 1987 through  1990.  For the  comparison,  four student
sites were chosen that were fairly close to CBCMP sites (see Fig.
1) .  Although the measurements were taken  by different methods, one
would not expect systematic differences to be observed.

     No change  in nitrate mean concentration  for the fall sampling
period  is  apparent  from  the  graph.     However,   the  nitrate
concentrations  in the spring appear to have increased since 1976.
This would be  expected  since animal numbers in Lancaster County
have increased  dramatically during this period  of time,  while crop
land acreage on which  to apply manure has decreased.  Between 1960
and 1985, the number  of  dairy cows almost  doubled,  the  number of
broilers increased almost six times, layers almost three times and
hogs over six times.   In the same period  of time,  the  number of
farms shrank from 7,210 to 5,210  (USDA 1985).
CONCLUSIONS

     It is unclear whether the data collected by this project will
provide documentation of a significant change in the concentration
of nitrate-N in the surface waters of the Conestoga River.  Because
of the  relative  insensitivity  of the nitrate kit,  the  change in
concentration will have  to be rather dramatic to show a down-trend.

     If  the group  of  citizens  currently  participating in  the
volunteer monitoring  project  are able  to continue  sampling  for
several more years and  if  many more  nutrient  management programs
are put  in  place on adjacent lands,  one could hope to  detect  a
decrease in nitrate concentration in the river waters barring any
increases   in  contributions   from  STP's  or   the  atmosphere.
Unfortunately,  the increase in nutrient management programs may not
necessarily bring  about a decrease in N023 concentration  in  the
river  waters.    The  quality  control  procedures  must be rigidly
adhered to and the collection of samples  must be highly consistent,
with no lengthy data gaps, in order to detect  a downward trend in
nitrate.

     The problems encountered in measuring turbidity  are similar to
those in measuring nitrate—the sensitivity of the method requires
dramatic changes  in order to document  a significant trend.  Again,
quality  control  of the reagent  has  caused some doubt  about  the
validity of the quantities reported.

                                                               16

     Low dissolved  oxygen  (DO)  was  not observed  at  any  of  the
citizen monitoring sites.  The DO remained at  or above 5 milligrams
per liter  (mg/1)  at  nearly  all times.   Only  one  site,  Lancaster
South,  reported DO below  5  on  two  occasions  and then  it was only
slightly lower.

     In   light   of   the   above  conclusions,   the   following
recommendations should be considered concerning the direction and
continuation of this project:

     1. Discontinue the weekly determination of dissolved oxygen.

     2. Emphasize the importance  of consistency in data collection
     so that  fewer  gaps  in the  data record  occur.    This  will
     greatly enhance the statistical power of the data to determine
     trends.

     3. Place more emphasis on carrying out the quality assurance
     of the testing procedures paying particular attention to the
     nitrate and turbidity kit reagents.

     4. Obtain  funding to  document  the field  observations  with
     analyses by certified laboratories.

     The majority of the volunteers have done a very credible job
of sampling and providing data on the  state of their river's water
quality.  They have and are providing the only water quality data
along  the Conestoga  River's course.   The data being collected by
this group of dedicated citizens  will  be  a very valuable record of
the efficacy  of  the  efforts   undertaken by  the  Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and its citizens  to  restore  and protect the waters of
the Conestoga and Susquehanna Rivers as well as the Chesapeake Bay.
