Strong River Bridge : Strong River

Testing site under or at bridge on river not accessible due to very steep, vertical cut, overgrown briars, and slippery silt banks on both sides. Alternate sample site accessed from road on left downstream bank, thru narrow wood line, to river. Site is ~ 0.2 miles upstream of river site under bridge. See photo. Site should be biologically equivalent. No evidence by aerial photos of any potential point or nonpoint sources between alternative site and location at bridge. This alternative site, however, is difficult to access because of steep banks with slippery silty soil surface, where sinking in bank near water to knees is difficult to avoid.
