Notes

There were a lot of mallard ducks in this portion of the creek, so the water was churned up a bit at the time of testing. The last precipitation was 3 days prior, noted above. Surrounding right of ways (Village of Downers Grove and DuPage County) had salted extensively for that event, though I don't believe there was not enough snow to have much of any runoff affecting this waterway. Village of Westmont did minimal to no salting in this area. Multi-day rain events are forecasted for the coming 10 day forecast.
