Notes

The Athabasca is high, so there is back flow from it moving upstream on the Tawatinaw. The water is still significantly lower compared to last year at this time.

The riparian plant growth looks good, with some of the planted willows looking better than they have in previous years.

We continue to see the Styrofoam ball pollution in the area. There is some gravel under the bridge washing out upstream from the site.
