Ammonium level appears to have dropped, possibly due to the conditions the creek is in, water levels are higher and water is permanently flowing in abundance due to recent rain activity. What stands out about the site today? The water level of the creek is quite high, perhaps the highest levels we've ever seen from it , this made conditions for collecting the water hazardous as edge of the creek was slippery. Litter: car tyre is in the creek. Persons conducting tests: Ross Simpson, Sarah Simmonds
