Xylenes and MTBE. This assumes the soil unit is a water-bearing
aquifer with a hydraulic conductivity greater than 1.0E-05.

I'm trying to identify the need for and the value of water quality
testing equipment such as DO probes and larger probes that sample
temperature, DO, conductivity, pH and temperature of water simultaneously.
Other equipment of interest includes light sensors to assess terrestrial
and aquatic light quality. Does anybody have any feedback on their experience
with any of these types of equipment and their value (usefulness) to
graduate students in
environmental studies programs?
I need a list of endangered reptiles, amphibians, and fish that
currently exist in the Montour Creek area. Also, any information

Website at http://www.fish.state.pa.us.
The information is also provided in the PA Natural Diversity Index information,
which your Conservation District should be able to help you with.
