a Sampling of the “Local” <strong>road</strong> from Canyon County occurred when pre-treatment for chip-sealing was in place.<br />

Dusty gravel covered the <strong>road</strong> surface. This sample is not included in the average value for Ada and Canyon<br />

Counties since it is not representative of <strong>road</strong> conditions.<br />

b No samples of unpaved <strong>road</strong> dirt were procured from Canyon County during the summer 2001 sampling season<br />

only. The average for Ada and Canyon Counties has ben computed based on three samples from Ada County<br />
