Notes

Sunny, windy day. River has breached primary tree line, washed out a trail to a creek, and submerged a hydro pole. No structures are near the river to be flooded.

Forgot to take picture of alkalinity test against the reading instrument.

Conducted side by side alkalinity tests using last year’s pH strips and this year’s pollution strips. Significant variation noted for alkalinity and pH last vs this year instruments (alk: 40 vs 120; pH: 6.8 vs 8.4).

Phosphates between 15-30. Chose midline.
