In 2015-2018, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Great Lakes Restoration Initiative investigated the biodegradation of microcystins in source waters and sand filters from drinking-water plants in the Western Lake Erie Basin. Four source waters and three sand filtrate samples were collected from the intakes and sand filters of Lake Erie drinking-water plants and transported to the USGS Ohio Water Microbiology Laboratory, where investigators set up microcosms to enrich for and identify indigenous bacteria capable of degrading microcystins. Quality control samples were set up in the microcosms to check analyses and included positive controls, negative controls,...

This dataset contains data tables of laboratory quality-control data associated with environmental samples analyzed for microbiological constituents at the Ohio Water Microbiology Laboratory of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The environmental samples were collected across the United States by USGS National Projects and projects in Water Science Centers. These quality-control data can be used to assess the quality of microbiological data for the associated environmental samples.

This dataset contains a tabular file of phytoplankton abundance and community composition analysis in samples collected from two sites in the Western Lake Erie Basin and one inland lake site in northeast Ohio. Samples were processed by the Ohio Water Microbiology Lab of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and analyzed by BSA Environmental Inc. and during federal fiscal years 2016-2018. The dataset includes phytoplankton taxa (genus and species), division, tally (number of cells counted for each taxa present), density (cells per liter), and total biovolume (cubic micrometers per liter) for each sample collected. These data can be used to assess the community composition of phytoplankton at the sites, identify cyanobacteria...

This page contains model archive summary packages for 18 site-specific linear regression models developed for eight sites in Ohio. Sites models contain real-time factors (real-time model) or real-time and comprehensive factors (comp models) that are used to predict microcystin concentration action-level exceedances. Each model package contains a model archive summary report, the “original” data that include all explanatory variables used in model development, the “calibration” data that only contain the chosen model variables and can be used to re-create the model, the Virtual Beach (software used to the develop the model) project file for the model, and the model report that lists parameter and model details.

This dataset contains data tables of laboratory quality-control data associated with environmental samples analyzed for microbiological constituents at the Ohio Water Microbiology Laboratory of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) during federal fiscal years 2012-2017 (October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2017). The environmental samples were collected across the United States by the USGS National Water Quality Assessment Project and other projects in Water Science Centers. The microbiological constituents include total coliforms, Escherichia coli (E. coli), enterococci, coliphage (F-specific and somatic), aerobic endospores, and actinomycetes. These quality-control data can be used to assess the quality of microbiological...
