Friends of Accotink Creek
Stream Monitoring Project
Friends of Accotink Creek has a quarterly biological stream monitoring program
following the Virginia Save Our Streams ( VA SOS) method of assessing the water quality in a stream.
Our pledge under this program is to conduct quarterly bilogical monitoring at each adopted monitoring site.
Would you be interested in being an organizer and adopting one or more sites along Accotink Creek or its tributaries? Contact Duane Murphy, E-mail, to discuss the possibilities.
See the monitoring results for the follow active sites:
We will be posting other monitoring sites below as they are adopted. Look for monitoring events on our calendar for:
| Lake Accotink Park | Site 2 |
| Site 3 | Site 4 |
| Site 5 | Prosperity Ave. bridge |
| Site 6 | King Arthur Road bridge |
| Site 7 | Site 8 |
| Site 9 | Site 10 |
| Site 11 | |

If you know of sites along Accotink Creek have already been adopted, please contact us so we can offer help and show it on our map.
