Overview Sample Description <p>I chose this location based on its vicinity to Buffalo Bayou and the EPA Superfund Site Patrick Bayou. The location is a park near a commemorating memorial to the Republic of Texas called the San Jacinto Monument. This spot sits at the mouth of the Buffalo Bayou and Houston Ship Channel where hundreds of ships travel in and out every day. There is a ferry at the end of the land mass along with a restaurant. There were also several warning signs posted near the water's edge banning visitors from fishing or swimming in the water. To get the sample, I climbed down to the edge of the shoreline and dug my hole where the grass was growing. There was litter and visible oil marks on the shore that I could see. </p> Date of Collection Mon, 01/27/2020 - 12:00 Semester of Collection Spring 2020 My Institution UH Results Number of Colonies of Paraoxon 3 Number of Colonies of Methyl Parathion 3896 Location Geolocation for Sample 29.760629, -95.082223 Location Name Monument Inn Location Street 4411 Independence Pkwy Location City La Porte Location County Harris Location State Texas Location Country US Location Postal Code 77571 My Lab Section Monday Sample Result Classification Non-Cataloged Sample with POSITIVE Paraoxon POSITIVE Methyl Parathion
