Big Creek
Ontario, Canada
Testing site on outer bend of the creek which is approximately 20 metres wide. Samples taken on floating dock about 2 metres from 'shore'. Muck at creek edge, sand bottom covers most of creek bottom further out into creek. Riparian area well covered with trees, water flow gentle (guessing about 1.5 km/hr). Woody debris visible randomly on the creek bottom.
