Garrison CR. 1982. Water Quality of the Barataria Unit, Jean Lafitte National Historical Park, Louisiana (April 1981-March 1982). U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report. 82-691. United States Geological Survey. Baton Rouge, LA
Collected water samples from six sites in the Barataria unit of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park on a monthly basis from April 1981-March 1982. Measured specific conductance, pH, water temperature, water color, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, fecal coliform, fecal streptococcus, phytoplankton, algal growth potential, benthic macroinvertebrates, hardness, sodium, potassium, alkalinity, sulfate, chloride, fluoride, silica, dissolved solids, trace elements (arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, zinc, selenium, nitrogen, phosphate, pesticides and other organics. (A note attached to a copy of this report reads 'contract study to develop water quality data relative to the Barataria Unit. Discontinued by withdrawal of funds.
