Notes

The site is safe to access for all monitors. The edge of right bank is about to collapse but this creates no safety hazards or concerns for monitoring. Park/Recreation and Storm Water are pollution sources in the immediate surroundings.
The chloride test started developing faster in the warmer water outside. When I brought into car, it only took 2:56 to develop. So water temperature and air temperatures are variables with the test strips.
Many mallards on creek, too many to count.
