    Nippersink Creek at the Keystone Landing in McHenry County Conservation District's Glacial Park Conservation Area by Sue Rose

    This sample was taken near the bridge that crosses over the Nippersink Creek at Barnard Mill Road and Keystone Road as I was still waiting for my permit approval to take the sample just a few feet downstream at the Keystone Landing, which is located in the Glacial Park Conservation Area. My permit has now been approved by the Conservation District, therefore subsequent samples will be taken at the Keystone Landing as this is a much safer area to access the creek

    Lake Run at Nelson Lake in Dick Young Forest Preserve by Maureen Mrenna

    Thin coat of ice over much of stream but not all. Very cold - sample started to register quickly then took a long time to register to the top as I suspect the tube got cold. I held it in my gloves hand to warm it enough to complete. Sample was cloudier with sediment than I remembered from last year.

    DuPage River at Hammel Woods by Kaitlin Soto

    Hope I did this correctly! It’s my first one. It didn’t let me type 150 in the PPM section, but wanted a number under 10 so I choose the 3.8 equivalent.

    Lippold Park - West Entrance by Far Syed

    There was a lot of wetland plants surrounding the area, but the water was wavy and moving, and it felt like a calming experience!
