Notes
The site is unsafe to access unless you are wearing rubber boots. The banks have been swept away and the water is up against the left and right bank. The water is not deep so it can be sampled if it can be reached safely with boots. Ice on the water surface.
Park/Recreation is a pollution source in the immediate surroundings.
The site was different from past weeks monitoring- water has moved the banks. No landslides yet. The water was cloudy but there was a rainfall event 24 hrs prior. Physical characteristics could not be accomplished due to safety concerns. No birds yet. No sign of beaver. The tee from the top of the river has moved down stream and stuck on another tree. The snow pack is .64 metres.
