The AACC Environmental Center provides regular monitoring of the microbial water quality at your waterfront recreational area.  We monitor enterococci, bacteria that are indicators of fecal contamination by mammals or some birds. For further information about monitoring enterococci, maps and data tables, go to https://sites.google.com/view/aaccecoperationclearwater.

     Samples will be collected on Wednesdays between 0700 and 1200 at your waterfront facility by an AACC technician.  Please provide the exact location (using map grids to locate) to sample. If there is a locked gate at your location, please provide us with a key or code.  Data will be posted weekly approximately 30 hrs after sample collection. If your group would like an email alert when counts are posted, please provide the email address on the form below.  There will be two testing schedules this summer.

1. 14-week weekly schedule, costing $420, May 22nd through August 21st
2. 7-week biweekly schedule, costing $210, May 22nd through August 21st

Pricing is based on $30/sample. Please complete this survey form and send your check made payable to AACC Environmental Center  and addressed to Tammy Domanski, HLSB 272, 101 College Parkway, Arnold MD 21012 by May 1. * Note the address

We prefer to receive applications by 1 MAY, but please reach out if you missed the deadline. We can usually be flexible.

     AACC is committed to disseminating information about our water quality to our local communities and local governments/agencies. To that end we ask that your group allow data to be posted at one or both of the following sites. The Waterkeeper Swim Guide provides a mobile app at which users can view data on mobile devices.
