There is no ball to measure discharge, the bank's full width will not change for this site because of the riprap barrier.
The other site of the culvert is a sand-dominant substrate, possibly from the road sand they use in the winter. Does not appear to have a natural substrate. Never seen fish here. The culvert is new but fast-flowing. Fish may not be able to pass these areas.
The water was higher than my last visit. No beaver dam present any longer or sign of beaver. The vegetation is so overgrown on the walk to the creek. It’s a floral wonderland. The overflow on the left bank had stagnant water in it. The riparian barrier on the right bank was almost submerged, showing the water level.
The water appears fast otherwise normal. The dam gone. Lots of plants growth.
The site is covered with stones and steep slope and you have to jump off the wires while getting to the site. Be careful with the vegetation. Old age people can hardly access.
A Beaver-made dam at Culvert, a lot of vegetation and a stiff slope.
Couldn't complete monitoring; signs of bear. Overgrown vegetation, look for path, beaver dam on water
Tree branches on the surface of water.. everything else looks normal.
Tree branches on the water.. look like beaver’s presence and lots of plants grown on the banks.
The site has lots of plant growth compared to the previous. The water definitely seems lower. Otherwise no visual changes to colour odour etc. Lots of overgrowth at the site, plants cover much more than previously. Potential hazard when walking to the site
Watch step over wire guard rail. The foliage is dense and can not see the metal lines.
Cloudy day. water looks like it’s returned to normal depth since last visit. Steady but calm flow. Smaller tree has fallen into water.
Water felt warm
