Bathing Beach Fecal Indicator Depth Study - Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Laboratories. 2012. This report describes
a two-year study of two bathing beaches (Carrabelle Beach and Mashes Sands Beach) in North Florida investigating the influence of spatial sampling along the
beach front (three locations plus a control station) and distance from the beach as identified by ankle, knee, and waist sampling on indicator bacteria (fecal
coliform and enterococci) recoveries, and the potential impacts of sampling multiple locations and multiple depths on the identification of Impaired Waters of
the State. (PDF file size 1.26 MB)

Statistical Analysis of Surface Water Quality Specific Conductance Data - Florida Dept of Environmental Protection, Bureau
of Labs, Biology Section. The Triennial Review Committee of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) requested the
Biology Section to evaluate scientific evidence to support or reject the need to revise the Surface Water Quality Standard for
Specific Conductance. This document was written in response to that request. (PDF file size 2.25 MB)

Fla. Dept. Environmental Protection,
Bureau of Laboratories. 1995.
Protocols for determining Major-seawater-ion toxicity in membrane-technology water-treatment
concentrate. 26 pp. [unpublished report] [This document contains the results of a study to determine methods for identifying
toxicity to marine animals resulting from an 'imbalance' of the major seawater ions. The report includes the rationale for the
method, the results of the study, and the methods allowing one to determine whether toxicity in a sample results solely from major
seawater ion imbalance, solely from 'other' toxics, or from a combination of the two causes.
The
zip file contains 2 files; the RO
report in .pdf, the ion calculation spreadsheet in Excel format.
RO SOPs can be found in the list of
Internal Biology SOPs. Search by Category and choose Toxicity-RO Methods.
