    Old Trace Park by Jennifer Sigrest

    The retaining wall where sampling is done has been replaced with uneven rocks, making collection of samples a little more difficult without a flat surface. Results of samples don’t seem consistent with past results. The R-cards got wet on top during sampling due to the uneven terrain. Uncertain if this may have interfered with results.
