Foam present on surface. The rip rap were slippery on the walk down to sample site.
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.
The water level is lower than last visit. People are around for fishing.
Everything is good and clear on the location.
Decayed tree, hard to reach out to the site, mosquitoes, thrash, during wetted width monitoring, it was hard to reach on another side because it was slippery.
Aquatic life - tiny fish and crayfish.
Large boulders - watch your steps. Red berries by the bank.
Large rocks in the way to the site so walk carefully.
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.
