May, 1999- May, 2000, E. coli enum eration by COLISCAN EASYGEL (Micrology Labs, Goshen, IN) Weeks Bay Water Watch volunteers test for E. coli at 12 sites in the Watershed. Because ADEM uses fecal coliform testing as an indicator of bacterial water quality, the volunteer E. coli enumerations cannot be used to monitor potential violations. The Weeks Bay Water Watch data are used to officially identify areas of possible bacterial contamination in the Watershed. The EPA recommends 250 colonies per 100 ml sample limit for E. coli for states that utilize E. coli as the bacterial indicator for Alabama water quality standards. Table 6 shows seven sites where Weeks Bay Water Watch volunteers have documented E. coli concentrations greater than 250 colonies per 100 ml. 2. Metals in the water column, sediment and in fish tissue are potential threats to human health. The potential sources of metal enrichment within the Weeks Bay Watershed include but are not limited to, day-to-day operation of Weeks Bay Watershed Management Plan
