Upper Carp River at Creek Rd/Third Line W by Community Volunteers
Odour at the location was very strange. It could be from plants, but couldn't identify. It wasn't constant, For a moment, I could smell it, but after a couple of minutes, it was gone.

Still fish are in the creek. As fall has started, more natural debris is getting in the water. Algae has grown so much.

Root River Wishart Park by Community Volunteers
The entire substrate has changed. The dominant substrate was gravel, and it is now clay dominated which is the result of the fallen clay cliffs. The clay looks to be supporting algae life through the contribution of sediments. The flow is low, so the sediment is unable to move downstream so it has replaced the gravel dominate substrate. Not sure when this occurred or how long the algae and clay pan has been present. Additionally there was foam, and large quantities of natural debris on the water body due to the beaver action. The new pedestrian crossing bridge has almost washed out with river flow in high events. The city has added more support to the control the erosion around the bridge. The water now flows out of bank before the sample location, the gravel has been moved to create higher ground that the low flow is enable to move through. The vegetation is turned orange, and some shade of yellow and red. There is a significant amount of foliage still to fall. There was iron oxidizing bacteria that created small blooms (See photos).

Root River Fourth Line E by Community Volunteers
There is algae on the water body, some of it looks deceased. All of the algae is on the surface of the rocks. The water is the lowest observed in past 18 months. The wetted width has declined. There was no wildlife observed but there was an abundance of bugs flying around the water. The channel that was monitored last season substrate has entirely changed. It was previously a cobble and gravel dominant substrate. It is now almost entirely clay and sand.
