Notes

*DISSOLVED OXYGEN TEST was not recorded due to me putting amploule into container with other discarded test mat'l before we had taken the reading(it was not safe enough to get another sample due to rain making shoreline slope to slippery to access again.
Natural debris in water
Water mostly ice covered thinly
No algae
Water flow was still
Water level looked lower than last months testing level (banks are muddy for about 3M-5M )
Water was brown color
Water was cloudy
No odour
With the drop in water level we could barely reach water from test location. Might have to walk around to outlet into Lake Erie if possible and walk up to creek if it hasn't breached the beach
There was a juice box container on ground near creek (evidence of people)
And there was 1 car in parking lot when we arrived (2 people walking )
