Log-transformed fecal coliform concentrations as a function of time in effluent and downstream river samples of Calumet and O’Brien WRPs. Plots on the left represent effluent samples directly from WRPs, plots in the center represent samples of river sites immediately downstream from WRPs, and plots on the right represent samples of river sites further downstream of the WRPs. The dotted line represents 400 CFUs per 100 mL, a concentration set as the EPA standard for recreational waters. The p-values represent results of bootstrapping simulations testing for differences in median values of coliform concentrations between pre-intervention time points (before 2016) and post-intervention time points (after 2016)
