This sample was taken near the bridge that crosses over the Nippersink Creek at Barnard Mill Road and Keystone Road as I was still waiting for my permit approval to take the sample just a few feet downstream at the Keystone Landing, which is located in the Glacial Park Conservation Area. My permit has now been approved by the Conservation District, therefore subsequent samples will be taken at the Keystone Landing as this is a much safer area to access the creek
