Turbidity less than 14.
Tested due to Paul's report of blackish water downstream at 10:20. Black water observed in the pond and below it, but turbidity normal (even in the pond itself). Black water seemed to be concentrated on the east side of the pond (inflow side from E06A rather than inflow side from W03) but this may have been an artifact of the greater depth on that side. Minor foaming.

Did not sample oxygen this morning, couldn't safely get closer than the edge due to strength of flow. Looks pretty aerated though :D
Big dead fish from yesterday not visible - uncertain if it was covered by water, washed downstream, or eaten by a raccoon.
