Plaster Creek Bacterial Monitoring And Source Tracking Project - Final Report, Randall J. Dejong Jan 2017

Plaster Creek Bacterial Monitoring And Source Tracking Project - Final Report, Randall J. Dejong

Faculty and Professional Research

The objective of this project was to identify important sources of bacterial loading in Plaster Creek (Kent County). The following goals were set to reach this objective: 1) the relative contributions of bacterial loading for 10 major tributaries will be assessed and the five most egregious contributors will be prioritized; 2) molecular markers will be used to try to identify the primary taxonomic sources, and 3) to pinpoint bacterial loading locations using molecular markers and scent-trained canines in sub-watersheds.
