Abstract
"Foreword
The following report presents a summary of physical, chemical, bio-assay and bacteriological data on St. Croix River waters quality complied during 1968 and prior years. Studies in the 1968 period were planned primarily as monitoring and surveillance activities which would provide information for comparison with data obtained during prior river studies in the years 1956, 1957, 1959, 1962 and 1963..."
