Algae specimen that has encapsulated some of the rock beneath the Hwy 17 Bridge cannot be identified. Uncertain whether the brown clotty sludge is algae or another species. To be further investigated at this site next visit and different seasonal intervals.

Bridge maintenance requires additional aggregate to prevent further erosion cause by the bridge drain system. Extreme weather events or spring runoff can catalyze this erosion process.

Did conduct secchi measurement nor measure water depth.

Entered by T.Hourtovenko, from results that were obtained by T. Sullivan (previous director of Land & Resources)

Suspect that ph strips were expired as results obtained by T. Sullivan are not consistent with recent results and certain strip containers were found to be expired during inventory process.
