Unfortunately, no, the E. coli level measured in the Shenandoah River at Lockes Landing public boat landing (site FC05) in Clarke County, VA was 248.1 MPN (most probable number) of colony-forming units per 100 mL of water. This exceeds the EPA’s recommended Beach Action Value (BAV) threshold for freshwater recreation, which is 235 CFU/100 mL.
However, there is good news. All other monitored sites, including Manassas Run and Hawksbill Creek, tested below the EPA’s BAV threshold.
These results provide a snapshot of the E. coli bacteria concentrations at the designated sites on the date, time, and under the conditions that the water samples were collected.
