About this location

  • Water body type River or stream
  • Dataset Lake Erie Rangers Monthly Monitoring, Lake Erie Rangers
  • Data collector Gerry Finlayson
  • Location description There is a narrow bridge crossing over Black Creek on College Road. The road is narrow, and some local traffic passes through it. Wearing high-visibility clothing is recommended at this site. Water samples are collected from the upstream (South-facing) side of the bridge using a throw bucket. There are a few nearby features that may impact water quality. This site is upstream of the QEW; however, it is downstream from the Stevensville pumping station and a metal manufacturing industry. There is also a cemetery near the site.
