Notes

UNSAFE TO ACCESS UNTIL SNOW IS OFF THE BANK DOWN TO THE SITE.
Ice on the water surface.
Tree that was used last season as a sample site indicator and a water level indicator has fallen, it was rotting and dead so it was just a matter of time before it made its way into the water system. This could create potential flooding if the tree catches other debris. No beavers seen in this area or dams at this location.
