Creek a bit brown and silty
Rushing waters. Highest level yet.
Boom removed.
Some suds for last 3 days and some over most easterly condo. Today more rocks exposed over bed but condos still covered with water.
Build up of large branch twig mass about 8 meter downstream spanning 2/3 width of creek. Boom is secured to rebar along bed.
Someone had placed sock all along wire with metal clips. I removed and placed it on shore. Are we working at cross purposes? I cleaned cradle. Water over eggs is moving gently upstream.
Bacterial analysis conducted by Ludwig Paul Cabling at the University of Victoria using SimPlates (E. coli, total coliform).
Removed leaf debris from around condos
