Turbidity standards needed
 

Hello,

I am writing as a member of the Watershed Committee of the Rockbridge Area Conservation Council and as a Rockbridge water monitor for the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay.  As part of my monitoring each month I measure turbidity with a turbidity tube.  The state of Virginia needs to establish  a turbidity standard to support our efforts to protect and repair our waters where needed.

Thank you,

Gretchen Sukow
