Notes

Water was low and the flow of the water has visually increased towards the culverts. There is some algae that is growing and an aquatic plant I am not familiar with. It would be beneficial to know someone who we can ask about algae species. Watch your step through the vegetation and by the sample location. The rip rap is slippery and some are unstable.
