Notes

The site is safe to access but the water is contaminanted with god knows what. This stormwater drainage could be contaminated and cause rashes please always use gloves. If the water gets on your skin- wash and sanitize in case of Ecoli.
Storm water is also a pollution source in the immediate surroundings.
Odour: Decomposing/Rotting.
There was 147 pieces of garbage that were cleaned up- 6 were cans from beer. 5 tim hortion cups and the rest of the pieces were broken off pieces of plastics from a larger unknown source. There should be a catcher here since this waste and pollution go directly into the freshwater sources we are trying to protect and serve.
