EC reading was a lot higher than normal, i rechecked the EC at 12.50 pm and the reading was down to 1050 still higher than normal. (2klms upstream at MOO001 the EC reading was 890)

Reactive Phosphorus reading was hard to read due to color of water but it appears to be about 0.060 mg/LP

Water was only foamy on the downstream side of the ford after rushing over the top of it.
