Clark Creek

Grown vegetation & steep slope.
There was a steep slope on the way to the water testing spot.
Vegetation has grown to a level that you won't be able to see the surface of the water properly.

The site is safe and easy to get too.
There was a tree that had been cut down by a beaver or similar animal.

No Pedestrian walk way from bus stop. It is so steep and easily slippery, also surrounded by long grass and surrounded by bush and trees.
I see maple trees, long grown grass which forms bush and also lot of firms and Squirrels.

The backyard backing into the pond has a pool - possibility of emptying the pool and the water going into the stream.
Garlic mustard around the location.

The site is sloppy, and it is slippery.
Stormwater as a pollution source.
A duck with ducklings was swimming in the creek. Observed a dead bird near the monitoring location. Creek is entirely covered with vegetation and barely can see the water to monitor.

Save to access. Wear gloves at all times after monitoring. Use sanitizer in emergency kit to clean hands after sampling. This site could contain bacteria's such as e-coli.
Park/Recreation, Stormwater, and Iron-oxidizing bacteria are also pollution sources in the immediate surroundings.
Odour: Decomposing/Rooting.
Colour of pH on Teststrip is darker than 8.4, however, it is the highest number, therefore, mentioned 8.4.
There was one male mallard on the waterbody. There is a beaver in the area, that has been busy feeding on bark. No new trees down, only the ones from last fall. There are buds on the Alder trees. There was scum and algae on several locations on the waterbody moving upstream and downwards. There was some floating mats that should be observed throughout the summer. There is a good amount of decomposing leaves still remaining on left bank. The grass is growing in the water body, approximately 3cm in length.

Little hill, some garbage on the ground, can’t see where the ditch starts because of the grass.
Park/Recreation is a pollution source in the immediate surroundings.
It’s a park, with beavers and raccoons around and people

I would say from a careful observation the water safe as there are lots of debris found in the water.
Stormwater and Park/Recreation are the pollution sources in the immediate surroundings.
Stormwater as evidence of water uses.
There was presence of Debris , The trees are getting blossom , the birds are singing but birds in the water , wear a cap when visiting the site, make sure to wear a glove.

Safe to sample but wear gloves as the water is not clean or fresh.
Stormwater is also the pollution source in the immediate surroundings.
Four mallards on the water body. The stream is mainly from Clark Creek but there is stormwater that merges within the system and there is a mix of freshwater and stormwater.

Entrance full of snow so wear boots to get to water body. Slope down to creek so take it slow. Testing stormwater so make sure to use proper gloves. Mallards present along creek.
Park/Recreation and Storm Water are pollution sources in the immediate surroundings.
