Abstract
A study was conducted on a recreational fioatway in northeast Alabama to assess EPA's new bacteriological criteria. In relation to the new criteria, the floatway was found to be more contaminated compared to the longstanding fecal coliform criterion. High correlations were found between fecal coliform concentrations and E. Coliand enterococci concentrations. Regression models were developed which enable the prediction of new criteria values from historical fecal coliform data.Keywords
