First sampling session- MCMC waterwatch. Earthworks are continuing downstream to daylight the drain parts of Blind Creek. A weir has been put in just DS of samplign site to reduce flow going into Earthworks. Level of creek flow is low.
Ammonium reagents expired 1 month ago, so test could be a little unreliable.
