Other litter included a big lantern torch, a bike wheel, and the large board that has been there for the past couple of months There was a noticeable solvent smell today. We saw quite a number of ducks along the waterway this visit; more than usual. EC was significantly higher at Susan St compared to Fort Knox today (usually most Phys-Chem readings at this site tend to be lower, presumably because a significant amount of water often drains into the waterway between Fort Knox and Susan St)
