More Book Details

Description of the Book:

A series of three interconnecting ponds and three streams located on Andrews AFB were analyzed to determine their current ecological status and future potential for sustaining aquatic life. Biological analysis consisted of collection, enumeration and identification of organisms from the ponds and streams and chemical analysis of water and sediments for ammonia and its derivatives. The results indicated that pond 2 is in excellent ecological condition and ponds 1 and 3 are in very good condition and should be able to maintain stocked game fish which are safe for human consumption. The stream fed by the pond is also in excellent condition. Another stream in the system, fed in part by a 60-inch culvert that runs under the flight line, is in poor condition due to a high ammonia content. These two streams merge, the resulting stream maintains a reasonable amount of aquatic biota. (ttl
