This report presents the results of a biomonitoring effort of Upper Esopus Creek in Ulster County, New York (U.S.) in August 2008. The sampling was intended to evaluate: 1) the effects of a deepwater release from the Schoharie Reservoir, and 2) the impacts of outdated septic system infrastructure on water quality.
