Volunteers can select a site on a public or private lake for monitoring. If adopting a site on a private lake, make sure you have permission to sample at that location. Many agencies and utilities monitor the water quality of large public lakes. You can choose to adopt more than one site. Adopt-a-Stream monitoring volunteers are asked to sample monthly at the same location, at roughly the same time of day during daylight hours. Samples can be taken from a dock or boat from a lake area where you can take a Secchi measurement from above, while looking down at the tool in the water.Records, documents, and information made available by the agencies of the South Carolina state government or its subdivisions are made accessible through the South Carolina State Library Depository and are protected under U.S. Copyright law (Title 17, U.S.C.) and South Carolina state law (Title 30 and 60, S.C.C.L.).
