Notes

Family fishing at the dock where water was sampled. They stated they were getting some nibbles. A couple was paddle boarding on the pond and two children were playing in the water at the beach. Lots of hikers in the area. Just a slight breeze at this location. It is near a highway. The oxygen bubblers were on and observed working. While algae wasn't obvious, I could see it stuck to orange floats near the dam.
