Bowker Creek

The lateral out fall north/east of McRae 100 m up stream from test site has clear water running. But significant amount of the glacial clay is covering the creek bottom.
At the test site the water is gray, the creek bottom cannot be observed. Everything that can be seen in the creek, as well as the stone along the creek bank is covered in gray clay.

The Color at the Wordsworth bridge is gray. The creek bottom cannot be observed.
100 m up stream, the lateral on the north/east side at McRae Ave is again dumping gray coloured water into the creek. The plume has not covered the entire creek surface. The creek bottom with the glacial mud deposits in part can still be observed

The water coming in is clear. The deposits of the ancient glacier mud on the creek bed can be clearly observed.
