Notes

Easy to access the location. However, oily sheen on the shoreline. So, please wear boots and gloves while monitoring this location.
Park/Recreation is also a pollution source in the immediate surroundings.
A Boat Launch as evidence of water use.
Oily sheen was observed on the shoreline, but it was not seen in the lake. It could be possible because the area is being used as a boat launch.
