Notes
The site is safe, but be careful there is a raccoon or a muskrat living in the hole by the long grass just past the flood gate. The snow is unstable, and can easily slip or sink into the snow. Proper winter gear is required.
Storm Water is a pollution source in the immediate surrounding.
There were a total of 7 geese that flew by and went to land in St Mary's but changed their mind. There is large amounts of what looks like rust, or iron on most of the rocks on the run to the river. Could be from corrosion of pipes underground that the water is picking up. There is litter in the water body and large amounts of microplastics particles that can be seen with the naked eye. The scum has decreased since last visit, and the odor can only be found immediately above the culvert, and heat can be felt rising.
