The text version was modified on page 9, Trends in Water Quality, first paragraph. Concentrations commonly are correlated with streamflow and season. Trends presented in this report (referred to as “flow-adjusted trends”) were adjusted for streamflow and season to reduce the variability in concentrations and increase the likelihood of detecting an unbiased significant trend (Deleted Ten and 20 year).

Page 13, table 4, header information added.
FA Trend: magnitude in percent, positive, improving trend, negative, degrading trend;   
FA added to Trend column header.
