Water at this internal combined site is usually of higher quality than samples from YSA 010. However at time of this test regime, pH and conductivity are higher than YSA 010. Suggest that saline or alkaline materials have been leached or collected during flow through forest. Possibly introduced from untested east branch YSA 020.
