<h3>
THANK YOU! to the Sophomore class at the Saint Johnsbury Academy for running a Sleeper's River Cleanup effort on May 1st, 2015. They worked hard, and were able to pull 2640 pounds of metal and other debris from the river. </h3>
<h3>
Thanks also to James Bentley of the Saint Johnsbury Academy for running this important event, and to Peggy Pearl of the St. J. Historical Society, for culling the items of historical importance.</h3>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Your river classroom sounds like a fantastic resource! It's really wonderful that you're making use of the river with your middle school students. I can point you in a few different directions for sampling for bacteria.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We test water samples for bacteria here in Royalton using the IDEXX Colilert system. It's a 24hr test recognized by the EPA and used widely in water quality testing. In short, in the test we add colilert reagent to a 100mL water sample, incubate it for 24hrs in a specially sealed tray and then read the sample using a UV light. Samples that are positive for E.coli fluoresce under the light and we can quantify how much E.coli is present based on the portion of the tray that is fluorescing. We have 5 samples worth of reagent left at this point and would be happy to run samples if you can get them to us. There are pretty tight time limits for the samples to be considered valid (they need to be processed within 6 hrs), which may make that difficult. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
You might consider contacting Jenna Guarino, a watershed education consultant with Ecotone Education here in Vermont, that we've worked with and who has done some water quality work using petri dishes in the past. She's a great resource and I'd be happy to connect you. Jenna developed many of the materials that we use with school groups (available at <a href="http://whiteriverpartnership.org/teacher-resources/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://<wbr></wbr>whiteriverpartnership.org/<wbr></wbr>teacher-resources/</a>).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
There may also be some folks at the Agency of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation who may be good resources. Jim Kellogg comes to mind, he supervises macroinvertebrate sampling for the state and also is the contact for a program called the LaRosa program, which among other things tests water samples for bacteria. I'm not sure if the state would be able to help you out by running samples, but I'd be happy to connect you with them if it would be helpful.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Let me know if I can be of help or if you'd like to talk in more detail about any of these options. Good luck!</div>

Lots of Caddisfly and Mayfly larvae means low pollution levels. We found pretty high numbers.<br />

It was great to meet with you and Allison today and do a little adventuring to the sleepers River. Hope it was OK to just stop by as I was driving by the school and figured I would give it a shot and the timing seemed to work out well. I am excited about your idea of getting students down on the river to learn so just let me know if there is any way I can help support you in this effort. It sounds like you will be working on getting a trail down to the river which is great and then will be having some classes in the fall to get students familiar with the river and then get into discussions about human impacts on the river and a service project. We discussed a few service projects that might be possible for the students including cleanup, a rain garden on the school somewhere (which could tie in with a discussion of the construction and separation project), as well as the possibility for a buffer planting project if a site could be located. Again I think macroinvertebrate sampling would be a good project to consider as a part of this.<u></u><u></u></div>

This is a great resource to look at things such as topography, watersheds, water quality conditions and includes the parcel boundaries which comes in handy with regards to the school property and planning access to the river. I attached the map with the school property boundary shown over the aerial photo with some contours shown which provides a bit more context then the map we had today.<u></u><u></u></div>
