In November 2004, an unexplained phenomenon occurred in Carpinteria Reservoir (capacity 13 MG). Described as resembling "leopard spots," the floating material on the Carpinteria Reservoir water surface was calcite. While there are no negative health concerns with calcite, the appearance of floating calcite as "leopard spots" can be an alarming sight. The higher concentrations of calcium and bicarbonate in the well water create a higher potential for calcite carbonate precipitation than in surface water from the Cater Water Treatment Plant. Samples of the solid material were shipped to a local contract laboratory (Particle Measurement Technology Company, Ventura, California) and to Wellesley College (Wellesley, Massachusetts) for identification. Water quality data from the Carpinteria water sources were gathered and input into calcium carbonate equilibrium models to evaluate supersaturation conditions for different compounds. Analytical methods included: x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF); x-ray diffraction (XRD); energy-dispersive scanning electron microscopy (BSE-SEM); and, standard geological tests including acid dissolution and identification with a binocular microscope.
