The spike in the pH should not be surprising, heavy rainfall in the past 24 hrs has increased snow melt from the surrounding beef farm. There is some construction happening on the farm, as a result a pile of building waste is located meters from the creek bank. Runoff is the suspected cause; samples collected downstream are significantly more cloudy ⛅️.
