Notes

Please wear gloves it is very important, as the water is very dirty and has no freshwater source at this time. This site could contain ecoli bacteria- or other harmful substances. The site has an abundance of Algae.
Stormwater is the pollution source.
Odour: Decomposing/Rotting.
There was more garbage than there was before, I picked up additional garbage of 63 pieces- last week it was 146 pieces of plastics between the size of a pin to the size of a tire (plastic wrappers) There were 4 geese in the river body that the contaminated water flows into.
