Environment and Food
Dataset
This data set provides pesticide sample analyses results for stream water samples for the province’s Pesticide Monitoring Program.
The sampling includes a total of 9 rivers across PEI, with at least 3 of the rivers being sampled each year.
Stream water samples are collected at least once per year during wet weather sampling conditions.
Department staff collects the samples, which are then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Results with a " < " represent values below the lab's reporting or quantification limit.
Such results do not confirm the presence nor the absence of a pesticide compound below that level.
Water Quality Guideline or Benchmark Values:
When available, Health Canada Guidance Values were used,
otherwise CCME Canadian Water Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Life were used, and otherwise USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark values were.
1. The Canadian Long term freshwater Water Quality Guideline for the Protection of Aquatic Life
Website link is here: http://st-ts.ccme.ca/
2. USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark (lowest value on table was chosen).

3. Health Canada Guidance Value
NOTE: the guideline/benchmark values have been converted from the published units to ng/ml by the author in order to compare the values to the detected results.
These samples are collected in the same rivers as the Finfish/Shellfish and the Stream Sediment Pesticide datasets.

Environment and Food
Dataset
This data set provides pesticide sample analyses results for stream sediment samples for the province’s Pesticide Monitoring Program. The sampling includes sampling a total of nine rivers across PEI, with three of the rivers being sampled each year.
Sediment samples are collected once in July, twice in August (once during a normal/dry weather and once during wet weather), and once in September. The two samples in July and September are collected during dry weather.
Sediment sampling involves Department staff collecting sediment from the stream bed of the site, using a small shovel. Samples are then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
These samples are collected in the same rivers as the Stream Water and the Finfish/Shellfish Pesticide datasets.

Environment and Food
Dataset
This data set provides pesticide sample analyses results for finfish (brook and rainbow trout) and shellfish (mussels and soft shell clams) for the province’s Pesticide Monitoring Program. The sampling includes a total of nine rivers that are tested across PEI, with three of the rivers being sampled each year.
Finfish are collected from the river by electrofishing or rod and reel. Shellfish are collected from the same river systems manually, as close to the finfish sampling as possible. The purpose of the sampling is to determine if pesticide residues accumulate in the fish/shellfish.

Environment and Food
Dataset
Stream flow data are available for a number of streams across the province. New Stream flow data is available from June through September. Those who hold a Water Withdrawal for Irrigation Purposes Permit can use this tool to confirm the water flow in Island streams, and to determine whether they may legally draw water for irrigation purposes.
