Grade C For January, 2007 the WQI rating at Boulder Creek at 107th St (BC-107) was Medium (C) due to a WQI value of 68.83. The chart below details the WQI calulations at this site. See the detailed explanation of the WQI method for more information.


Parameter Unit Parameter Value Q-value Weight Factor Total
DO% % sat 0.00 99.00 0.17 16.83
Fecal Coliform #/100 mL Data Unavailable
pH pH 8.05 85.74 0.11 9.43
Total Phosphate mg PO4/L 1.60 26.94 0.10 2.69
Nitrates mg NO3/L Data Unavailable
Turbidity NTU 8.83 76.56 0.08 6.12
Total Solids mg/l 560.00 20.00 0.07 1.40
Totals (factors, total) 0.53 36.48
Adjusted WQI 68.83

The WQI is computed by converting measured Water Quality Parameters to "Q-Values" using charts developed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) water quality scientists. The Q-Values are then multiplied by a weighting factor based on the importance of that water quality parameter. These values are totaled and then divided by the sum of the weight factors.
