Notes
The site is snow and ice covered on the banks. It can be accessed.
Storm Water is one of pollution sources in the immediate surroundings.
There is a muskrat or some large rodent creature that hisses lives in the hole in the grass on the creek. The creek gates coming from under ground was full of brown foam and sludge bacteria and potentially feces. This is a stormwater channel that is from a large catchment area that releases in the freshwaters of St. Marys River. See photos.
