Subject: RE: NEW!!! TRIATHLON IN FRANKENMUTH I have been corresponding with the contact at MDEQ on the water quality. They have been working with the Cass River Greenway committee on various projects and most recently completed a water quality analysis throughout the Cass River Watershed. I asked him for something that could be published – rewrote it for simplicity and sent it back with this approved version. Here’s what it boils down to … The most recent data (2010) on bacterial contamination by the MDEQ indicates that the main channel of the Cass River met current MDEQ water quality standards most of the time. Monitoring is a snapshot in time and water quality conditions may change with weather. The Saginaw County Health Department can assure that conditions are acceptable for public health at or near the time of the event. |
