Notes

Warm temperatures have had frogs breeding and seeing tadpoles early. Water is clear and seem healthy from the macroinvertebrates we have pulled from the water.

Cl values trended high beginning in March after falling from Nov-Feb. Did not see a decrease in levels yet. We have had quite a bit of rain, wonder if culvert to pond has caused higher levels of Cl to enter.
