Fort Folly Water Quality Data

Water quality monitoring occurs within Palmer’s Pond and the Petitcodiac Watershed to assess local habitat and ecosystem health. Surface water samples are collected at various locations on a monthly basis, following RPC protocols, and submitted to the laboratory for analysis of multiple analytes. These may include surface water chemistry, surface water metals, pesticides and herbicides, Atlantic MUST (BTEX/TPH), mercury, and glyphosate. As part of the Swim Guide program, PWA also conducts E. coli testing at one location within Palmer’s Pond.
