2012 Rice Creek Irondale' Sampling Location <br />4.3.3 Sampling Methodology <br />Team Leader: Ralph Butkowski <br />Team Members: Bob Bartlett, Jim Dorsey, Gary Ellis, Matt Hannah, Mari Ito, <br />James Brozowski, Rod Venterea, Eileen Zierdt <br />SHEP volunteers used the MPCA's multi- habitat monitoring protocol at each <br />monitoring location. At least 20 jabs were taken from across all major habitat types <br />in the reach. Program staff members performed site visits to assure monitoring was <br />performed according to MPCA guidelines and protocols. Lab analysis identified <br />the taxonomic classification of benthic macroinvertebrate samples from each <br />sampling site. Once identified, samples were sorted, labeled and scored. <br />4.3.4a Field Sampling Results - Rice Creek `Above' Site <br />Historical Field Results for Rice Creek `Above' Site <br />Date <br /># <br />Identified <br />Family Biotic <br />Index <br />EPT <br /># of <br />Families <br />Dominant Family <br />Dominant Family % <br />Overall <br />Field Samp ing Results: <br />9/1/06 <br />180 <br />8.8 <br />2 <br />11 <br />Coenagrionidae <br />87% <br />11/13/07 <br />137 <br />7.9 <br />0 <br />5 <br />Coenagrionidae <br />54.5% <br />9/6/2008 <br />169 <br />7.3 <br />2 <br />14 <br />Hyalellidae <br />38% <br />9/5/2009 <br />103 <br />7.0 <br />3 <br />11 <br />Chironomidae <br />51% <br />9/26/10 <br />227 <br />7.3 <br />6 <br />11 <br />Hyalellidae <br />66% <br />9/18/11 <br />612 <br />7.8 <br />3 <br />15 <br />Hyalellidae <br />70% <br />9/22/12 <br />174 <br />8.3 <br />4 <br />10 <br />Coengrionidae <br />52.9% <br />Cross Check Results: <br />9/20/09 <br />421 <br />6.8 <br />4 <br />14 <br />Chironomidae <br />40% <br />9/18/10 <br />510 <br />7.8 <br />3 <br />11 <br />Hyalellidae <br />75% <br />• <br />• <br />
