KEPO to Conduct Wave Monitoring Study

07/19/2023

The Kahnaw�:ke Environment Protection Office (KEPO) of the Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke would like to inform the community that water quality monitoring equipment will be installed in the Recreation Bay today, (Wednesday, July 19, 2023).

KEPO personnel will be installing the equipment, which will monitor turbidity, oxygen, temperature, and pH levels in the Recreation Bay area. The monitors will help KEPO evaluate the effect of excavation work on bay water quality.

Data loggers will be mounted on green signposts with orange flagging tape as markers and will be secured to the shore with aircraft cable. They will be removed after one week (Wednesday, July 26) of data collection.

There will be four (4) one-week deployments from now until the end of October. Locations of deployed data loggers are indicated in yellow on the map above.

KEPO would like to thank the community for not disturbing the data loggers during these periods. 

Please call KEPO at 450-635-0600 or email at environmentprotection@mck.ca if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
