Notes

Access at the park - be careful on a trail. Do not recommend going solo. River banks are covered with snow so do not go near the stream. Use a big reacher stick to grab the water sample. Grab a water sample to the vehicle and monitor there. Park - as a pollution source in the immediate surroundings.
