Roadworks have filled in channel outlet at the road.  Sample taken in channel 100 m west of road.  Was required to get site access approval from Project Manager (Ryan) and Site Manager (Brian).  Completed induction form for approval.

On 3rd May 2017 I was unable to get access even to the channel upstream, extensive remediation works going on.  May need to reconsider this site location as the channel is likely to be replaced with pipelines.
