    No issues during this observation and samples were taken where a gentle current was present. Water level is approx 3-4" lower than last week, and still has a finely, suspended sediment of unknown composition which affected water clarity. It continues to have a brownish, green color. Evidence of local fishing could be seen along the bank.

    West Spillway Dock by Laura Luke

    It was bright, sunny, and hot today. There was a slight breeze. The water looked a bit lower than last time. The water didn’t stink like it did last time. There were still dead/discarded fish lying around and trash in and around the water. There were people out fishing. I saw a good amount of fishing birds, goose poop and I’m assuming goose footprints. (I included a picture.) There were little fish swimming by and lots of bugs! I saw butterflies, flies, wasps, a cricket, and dragonflies.
