    Strong River Bridge by Will McDearman

    Testing site under or at bridge on river not accessible due to very steep, vertical cut, overgrown briars, and slippery silt banks on both sides. Alternate sample site accessed from road on left downstream bank, thru narrow wood line, to river. Site is ~ 0.2 miles upstream of river site under bridge. See photo. Site should be biologically equivalent. No evidence by aerial photos of any potential point or nonpoint sources between alternative site and location at bridge. This alternative site, however, is difficult to access because of steep banks with slippery silty soil surface, where sinking in bank near water to knees is difficult to avoid.

    D'Lo Water Park by Karen Felder

    Red Advisory Consumption of or contact with water contaminated with feces of warm-blooded animals can cause a variety of illnesses. Minor gastrointestinal discomfort is probably the most common symptom; however, pathogens that may cause only minor sickness in some people may cause serious conditions or death in others, especially in the very young, old, or those with weakened immunological systems.
