Summary Conclusions Macroinvertebrate diversity seems to be stabilizing
Phosphorus is high and stable throughout
Big September storm drove sediment runoff event
E. coli high and increased in 2014, except in Woods and Smith Creeks (Lower Huron)
Conductivity high and increasing (salts?)
Dissolved oxygen good except at Brownstown, Silver and Upper Ecorse Creeks
Investigatives and storms to come in report

Planning for 2015 Continue with 4th year of WQ monitoring and 11th year
of macroinvertebrate monitoring
Improve storm sampling frequency with remote controls (if possible)
Additional sampling by Wayne County at 20-30 sites
Plan for flow monitoring in 2016
