Port Glascow (creek just down hill to right of marina on Grey line
Ontario, Canada
This tributary is feeding into Lake Erie at Port Glasow. Our test site was down the hill on Grey line to right of marina. There is a cement culvert. We tested on the lake side in the left front corner. You can access by going down bank beside culvert . The left culvert hole (from below) was dry and we took our sample from the rocks about 8 ft from culvert leading into water.
