 The Study Area

The study area is located in the outer Bay of Fundy in the St.
Croix River Estuary between St. Stephen, NB/Calais, ME and
St. Andrews, NB/Robbinston, ME as shown in Figure 1.

The St. Croix Estuary is a typical estuary where marine influ-

ences become more pronounced as one proceeds downstream.
The study area has both freshwater and marine affinities.
St. Croix River
The river bottom has been subjected to serious industrial pol-
Estuary
lution and was anaerobic and virtually dead during the sixties.
While the river is not fully recovered, some hardy colonizers
now occur in the upper study area, including sand shrimp
(Crangon septemspinosus), green crabs (Carcinus spp.), an-
nelid worms, seaweeds and some molluscs. The once large Passamaquoddy Bay
runs of anadromous fishes are virtually gone. The recovery has Bay of Fundy
a long way to go and the river is still influenced by chronic pollu-
tion from industrial releases and domestic sewage leakages.

The study area is primarily influenced by domestic sewage leak-

ages from the Town of St. Stephen and industrial pollution from
plants located upstream. Sampling along the Calais waterfront
did not find high bacterial levels during the 2002-2003 study. Figure 1 The Study Area in the St. Croix Estuary with locator

These annual monitoring reports have been the foundation of
presentations to municipalities and individuals that have re-
sulted in some serious pollution sources being eliminated and
potentially serious pollution problems being averted. Data col-
lected during 2008 will be used to launch additional remediation
efforts in the study area with particular emphasis on the St.
Stephen and St. Andrews waterfronts.

Materials and Methods
A field team was deployed to collect water quality data, bacterial covered plates, the samples were left to solidify for 45 minutes
samples, photographs, GPS points, and to conduct biota to an hour. They were then placed in an incubator for 24 to 48
surveys at preselected sampling sites in the estuary. hours at 35.5°C.

Sampling and Sample Sites
1. All selected sites (seepages, storm drains, open sewers,
etc.) entering the St. Croix Estuary within the study area were
surveyed.
The bacteria colonies were counted and recorded for 3 mL of
water. The number was then divided by 3 and multiplied by 100
to represent the bacteria colony count as Colony Forming Units
(CFU) per 100 mL of water. The CFU/100 mL of water is the
standard approach to represent bacteria counts in water.

2. Bacteriological samples were collected and processed using
the Coliscan Easygel System (http://www.micrologylabs.com/
Home/Our_Methods/Coliscan_Easygel).
3. Basic chemical parameters were recorded using test strips.
Values with a less than sign (<) are plates on which no bacteria
were visibly detected. These values are represented as Not
Detected (ND) on the graphs. The values with no signs prior
to the number are statistically viable counts, meaning this is

4. Biota was surveyed and recorded for the intertidal area from
high to low water.

5. Sites were categorized as follows:

a) No problems identified - check mark symbol/green

b) No serious problems identified but of potential
concern - eye symbol/yellow
c) Site of concern, potentially hazardous - skull and
crossbones/red

Coliscan Baterial Analysis

The Coliscan Easygel method was used to determine the E. coli

and total coliform counts for the water samples. This method
was chosen due to its simplicity and straight forward sampling
technique and incubation period. The samples were taken with
a 3 mL sterile pipette and placed directly into the liquid medium.
The samples were put on ice until ready to plate. Once in the Field staff collecting samples in 2008.

the number of CFU/100 mL of water in the water sample. The
values with greater than signs (>) are counts of bacteria colo-
nies which are above the statistical range for the plates; these
values are represented as “Too Numerous To Count” (TNTC)
on the graphs.
Each method of plating bacteria has a different statistical
range in which the bacteria can grow without interfering with
the nutrient intake of other colonies of bacteria; the range for
the Coliscan method is up to 300 CFU/plate. Above that range
there would not be a sufficient amount of nutrients in the media
to allow all the colonies to grow. Therefore there would be more
bacteria in the water sample than represented on the plates. If
this occurs the water may be resampled with a smaller quan-
tity of water until the count is within the statistical range of the
method. However, this is not always possible and was not done
for this project.
In previous years, different bacterial analysis methods were
used by other laboratories and these values were reported in
previous annual monitoring reports. The categories “Not De-
tected” and “Too Numerous to Count” provide the analytical sta-
tus required for the general survey provided here. Actual count
numbers are considered accurate and comparable.

Water Quality Analysis
Whatman pH indicator paper was used to measure the pH of the water
at selected sites. The strips range from pH 4.5 - 10. HACH Water
Quality Test Strips were used to measure ammonia, phosphate, ni-
trate, and nitrite. The sample procedure was as per instructions for the
strips. The range for the ammonia strips is for total ammonia (NH3-N)
0 - 6.0 parts per million (ppm). The range for the phosphate strips is for
phosphate (POˉ4) 0 - 50 ppm. The range for nitrate/nitrite strips is for
nitrate nitrogen 0 - 50 ppm and nitrite nitrogen 0 - 3.0 ppm. A LaMotte
thermometer with a range from -5˚C to 45˚C calibrated in tenths of a
degree was used to measure the temperature of the water sampled.
Biota Check
An intertidal beach survey was done at selected sites to catalogue the
plants and animals occurring from high water to low water. This cursory
assessment of the biodiversity and abundance of resident species was
used to determine in a qualitative manner, whether any adverse im-
pacts may have occurred. Data may also be used in future evaluations
of the evolution of the site relative to data collected in the general area
during the major surveys conducted in the 1970’s and during the 2002-
2003 survey that serves as the foundation for this work.
