I noticed that there were more particulates in the water than I normally observe. The water appeared murkier than usual as well.
I had expected flooding, but I was still able to access the testing site. The water level was much higher than I have observed in a while.
The water level was much higher than in previous weeks, and there was significant debris and litter present in the water. There was also construction in close proximity of the lake.
Typically I test along the water's edge. However, thanks to Pearl Riverkeepers supporter and Capital City Kayaks owner Chris Lockhart, I was able to test in an area only accessible by water.
Water level appeared approximately 8-12 inches higher than normal at sample site, due to heavy rainfall on 8-26-19 and 8-27-19.
Water level visibly higher than typical due to heavy rainfall over the course of the previous week.
No rainfall within 24 hours prior to sample collection.
Approximately .5 inch of rainfall within previous 24 hours. Samples collected near boat ramp and pier. No boats present at time of collection.
