The snowpack is deep so the water has joined the banks that are further than last season. The ice shelf along the bank has cracked and the separation between water and ice can be seen. The ice is melting and there are pockets of thin ice in the thick ice. You must have training or understand this site. What makes this site most dangerous is that the site may change as breakup and the thickness of ice may not be safe tomorrow and the next. EHHS must be conducted everytime.
Ice on the water surface. Park/Recreation is a pollution source in the immediate surroundings.
evidence of water uses: Not currently, as the ice has not broken up. It there are boats parked on the other side of the river.
"It was very windy but the water was unable to turn due to the ice pack. No wildlife- no fowl-
Did a chloride test as a reference for before full spring freshet melt.
To note we are having a slow melt. Warm during the day, cold at night, with some cold days in between the warm days. Highs in past 48 hrs range from -6 to plus 4."
Everything seems pretty clear at the location and no hazard for monitoring. The water level seems lower than usual. Maybe because of a tide or huge ship, the water level on the shoreline was rising and getting lower.
Nonstop rain at night and raining in the morning. Everything is safe.
everything is safe.
The water level was low
The water is not clear.
I have seen a crayfish but it was dead. The entrance was sloppy and it’s hard for the elderly people to reach there easily. There were lots of mosquitoes, ducks.
Because of vegetation be careful while entering. Watch out for the tree branches. The entering path is covered with vegetation and tree branches are in the way. Be careful of branches and any insects while entering.
Rainy weather, mosquitoes and insects. Rainy weather so the path is slippery. A lot of mosquitoes.
