Crystal Creek Case Rd by Community Volunteers
The wetted bankful, hydro and flow can be skewed because there is a dam that has acquired in front of the culvert, which has slowed the flow, created a pool and slowed the speed of flow. See photos. Pileated Woodpecker and yellow rump Warbler on site. The other side of the culvert acquiring more sand and the rocks are blocking passage as the water is lower than the rip rap. The site is overgrown with vegetation. Since they cut it back along the gas lines, the original path is covered. If you approach and descend down the rock wall be careful of rock landslides. The rocks are slippery, the bank is soft- recommend wearing boots-

Cold Water Creek at Old Garden River Road by Community Volunteers
The water seemed low for such a high rainfall event. Potentially water is still moving through the system. The conductivity seemed high- might want to check the water depth for comparison. Conductivity may have increased due to evaporation. There was snake mortality by the sample site looked like a natural occurrence, possibly a bird. Vegetation overgrown, can not see the path so watch footing. The rip rap by sampling site is slippery and there is wood debris present from beaver action in May. Watch your step.

Root River Old Garden River by Community Volunteers
The water was very still and barely moving- flow(discharge rate) in two areas - the left bank was faster compared to the center and right bank. The water seemed lower than would have been expected with rainfall. The vegetation has been cut back so it is easier to access, the rocks were very slippery but the visibility of rocks and footing was great due to the vegetation cutting.
