Pontchartrain Water Quality Results
Below are the water quality results of Lake Pontchartrain provided by the Pontchartrain Conservancy. Please review the map and results below. Data marked red is above criteria, or fail on the day and time measured. Data marked green is below criteria, or pass on the day and time measured.
How are results measured?
By "Beach Action Value" (BAV), described in EPA's 2012 Recreational Water Quality Criteria (RWQC). The BAV value is a tool for determining a “do not exceed” value for beach notification purposes. For Enterococci, the BAV described in the 2012 RWQC is 70 CFU/100mL. The presence of Enterococci in the water indicates the water has been contaminated with fecal waste from warm-blooded animals. Or more simply, the presence of these microorganisms indicates the possible presence of other pathogens.
A location will be marked red if the Enterococci sample exceeds a bacterial density of 70 CFU/100mL. Data marked red is above criteria. A location will be marked green if the Enterococci sample does not exceed a bacterial density of 70 CFU/100mL. Data marked green is below the criteria.
