Abstract
Data collected from November 2003 to October 2004 at two sites on the Little Sac River show that the whole body contact water quality criteria was not met during this period. The year was divided in four periods: winter, spring, summer, and fall. Averages and geometric means were above the 200 colonies/100 ml for any of the winter, summer, and fall periods at both sites.This material is based upon work supported by the Environmental Protection Agency, region VII through a grant entitled “DNA Source Tracking of Fecal E. Coli in the Little Sac River, Missouri,” (grant X7-98740401-0). Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this publication are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the view of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
