Veteran Acres Pond

I believe due to the swampy water, and its warm temperature, the chloride levels were low, plus, it was 58 degrees. The geese family seemed to enjoy the water, so it was not bad for them to go for a swim!

It was a nice open area without anything grown around it, and compared to the numbers from last month’s, this was less than the other one due to the weather since it was 62 degrees, but it was hot when the chlorine levels increased last month. The water was still nice, and a good day to be sampling!

The weather was great around 75 degrees. There were geese on the other side, and the water was calming, but high chloride levels were still an issue!

There was still ice left on the water, slowly breaking, so I took a sample from the open water that was near, but was a bit dirty, so if the water fully melted, the chlorine levels would have increased, due to the warm weather, but was collected from the front.

After it rained, I went out to take a sample, and all the ice melted, which was a nice view of the flowing pond, but it had higher chlorine levels during the 40 degrees weather, but it rained, so the water may got affected due to the rain.

The area was icy every time I went there, but there was a bit of water and breakable, so not too bad to get the sample, as it was snowing!

There was so much wetland plants, plus the geese and ducks seemed that they were enjoying the pond too!

After it rained, I took this sampling toward the far corner and it seemed to have more chloride levels compared to the nearest area, around the 50s weather!

There was so much green stuff due to the rain? After the rain, it was around the 50s and I took sampling near the parking lot which showed least amounts of chloride.

When I arrived, there were already geese hanging out by the pond so, I sampled around the area where they were!
