I may have messed up the Dissolved Oxygen test. The water is SO low right now that I couldn't get down to it with both lids of the bottles on to remove them under the water and then fill. It was just too precarious for me to do that.
I will email you a video of spring water running from inside the bank of the Pearl into the river. It is probably happening in other areas but it is exactly where I test. It is just SLIGHTLY downstream from where I test.
Water was at least 2 ft higher at test site than last week. Last 2 pics are of foamy stuff that shows up every time the water is high. I've asked around and most people believe it is from a paper mill in Monticello. Do you have any idea what it is?
I don't have a secchi disk. I didn't need one for the other location that I test.
Can you send one for the Pearl River location?
I put this location on the same schedule as Mill Creek for Chemistry testing--once a month.
