Notes
The site is safe.
Park/Recreation is a pollution sources in the immediate surroundings.
There has been a bigger clay slide on the bank directly , it looks unstable and there is a possibility of another slide. The clay is impermeable. This could pose future issues. Plus the clay is slowing changing the substrate of the river at this location, where it was cobble and pebble previously.
The river has changed since last season there are two separate channels. There are cobble stones push up on the right bank that were not previously there.
There is garbage on the right bank of the river. When the bridge opens, it would be easy to cleanup all the litter that was carried on shore from the spring freshet. Refer to last years photos.
