Notes

The site is safe, it is slippery on the snow and on wet rocks.
Storm Water is a pollution source in the immediate surroundings.
Odour: Decomposing.
The site was much higher then prior. The garbage in the water has been washed away. There was new scum in the flood channel. The algae is becoming more vibrant and alive. The site receives sun most of the day. The rocks are orange and red from what looks like rust.
