3M Petrifilm Method:

Run at least 3 tests for each site (plates 1-3). A blank is also recommended (plate 0).

Escherichia coli	Plate						AVG # of colonies (total # colonies / total # of plates)	cfu /100 mL
	blank	1	2	3	4	5	AVG # of colonies (total # colonies / total # of plates)	cfu /100 mL

AAS Group ID:	Bishop Lake and Its 6 Inflows (G-1117) Cobb County
This is at the North-Central side Bishop Lake at the outflow of the culvert beneath Bishop Lake Road. This is the stream feeding from Smoke Stone Circle. The sample point will be inside the South end (outflow end) of the culvert.
