E&S conducted water quality sampling and analysis for cyanotoxins from reservoirs associated with the Lewis River Hydroelectric Project in Cowlitz County, WA. Sampling occurred at nine publicly accessible reservoir locations along the shorelines of either designated swim areas or areas most likely to host public access. Samples were analyzed for cyanotoxins along with microscopy to identify potentially toxigenic cyanobacteria species. In-situ water chemistry measurements were also taken. This work contributed to minimizing risk of public exposure to potentially toxigenic cyanobacteria species.
