About this location:
This sampling point is located in the main stem of the Roe Jan, upstream of the confluence of the Bash Bish Brook, at the outlet of Robinson Pond. Onsite septic systems are thought to be sources of nutrient pollution in Robinson Pond. These samples are collected by Roe Jan watershed residents and processed by the Bard Water Lab.
