The rip rap is slippery and unstable. The water is low so more rocks to climb on.

Foam present. There is brown algae on the substrate. I agree with suggestion to move the site next spring to right bank. The sample site should be moved past the confluence of the rivers when they are mixed.
There is a variety of invasive species at the site- Japanese Knotweed is large. The site was clear of overgrown vegetation- watch your step down to sample site- Some of the rip rap is not stable

Everything is pretty clear in the stream to assess water quality, however, a tree has fallen on the trail so drive carefully otherwise cars will get scratched.

Rocks, hard to get near the water because of the huge rocks. Cardboards, socks, tissue paper, cock can scrap etc. Fallen tree might cause damage during windy or stormy weather. Mosquitoes and dead fallen tree. Foams on plants.
