Notes

WEAR GLOVES AT THIS SITE. Stormwater and Iron-oxidizing bacteria are also pollution sources in the immediate surroundings. Odour: Decomposing/Rotting. There were several birds here, a Baltimore oriole and black junco. There were no water fowl on the water. There was more garbage and plastics present (see photos ) but I did not have a bag to pickup the items.
