Notes

Creek has risen slightly about 1 foot since sampling prior week. Slow current indicating potential backwater from Pearl River downstream. Evidence of a higher creek flow since prior sampling week before due to trash bags and other debris hung in logs and banks. Water very muddy though not scum or bubble on surface.
