    Byram Swinging Bridge by Johnny McGowan

    Remarkable E. Coli results on this visit, since urban sewage treatment facility is just upstream from this site. The water continues to have a greenish, yellow appearance, and low clarity.

    Rosemary Rd bridge by Johnny McGowan

    This site continues to have sudsy, greenish/yellow color water with poor clarity. River stage is lower than usual, but common to this time of year. The current E. Coli findings are much reduced on this check and are usually much higher due to the presence of two proximate upstream urban sewage treatment facilities that habitually release untreated or partially treated contents into this tributary, especially during periods of heavy rains.

    Gatesville Bridge by Johnny McGowan

    Very busy day at Madison Landing with lots of people recreating in the water and the surrounding park. The sampling site was sampled later than intended because the entire space was initially full of people fishing.
