Photos include Ro O. conducting standardized sampling protocol using new twist packs instead of sample bottles. Also Ro and Korice using Water Rangers' testkit to test for other water quality parameters (at site 1 of 5), including a new dissolved oxygen test. After a little bit of drizzle early in the morning, the water was clear and calm. Unfortunately still some garbage washing up onto the beach, including many straws, cans, bottle caps, feminine hygiene applicators, plastic-coated copper wire, plastic bits, and a syringe. The Lake Ontario Waterkeeper test sheets include taking an inventory of the trash at a sampling site, as well as water conditions, and waterfront users (today we saw joggers, dog walkers, a kayer, and plenty of gulls).","checked":"qc_complete","qa_notes":null,"qa_admin_notes":"","qa_admin_notes_author_id":null,"qa_admin_notes_updated_at":null,"tested_parameters":["ph","oxygen","chlorine","hardness","alkalinity","water_depth","conductivity","air_temperature","water_temperature"],"photos":["http://d27925nfpi4rwv.cloudfront.net/rails/active_storage/representations/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBL0VvQVE9PSIsImV4cCI6IjIwMjYtMTEtMDFUMDM6MTQ6NTMuNjEwWiIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--1aed64a8490694cb485eac373865abb2106e41cf/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJU2xCSEJqb0dSVlE2RTNKbGMybDZaVjkwYjE5bWFXeHNXd2RwQXBBQmFRS1FBUT09IiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJ2YXJpYXRpb24ifX0=--7ad7eb0934c77c507a75fddf54a256512e915d4e/IMG_4434.JPG","http://d27925nfpi4rwv.cloudfront.net/rails/active_storage/representations/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBL1FvQVE9PSIsImV4cCI6IjIwMjYtMTEtMDFUMDM6MTQ6NTMuNjEzWiIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--c2ff704e8a9bc46fa12412935f3077937a42fcaf/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJU2xCSEJqb0dSVlE2RTNKbGMybDZaVjkwYjE5bWFXeHNXd2RwQXBBQmFRS1FBUT09IiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJ2YXJpYXRpb24ifX0=--7ad7eb0934c77c507a75fddf54a256512e915d4e/IMG_4436.JPG","http://d27925nfpi4rwv.cloudfront.net/rails/active_storage/representations/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBL1VvQVE9PSIsImV4cCI6IjIwMjYtMTEtMDFUMDM6MTQ6NTMuNjE2WiIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--f76ce7a25d5ac9e8a41c54e04d9a036bc60e3c43/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJU2xCSEJqb0dSVlE2RTNKbGMybDZaVjkwYjE5bWFXeHNXd2RwQXBBQmFRS1FBUT09IiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJ2YXJpYXRpb24ifX0=--7ad7eb0934c77c507a75fddf54a256512e915d4e/IMG_4435.JPG","http://d27925nfpi4rwv.cloudfront.net/rails/active_storage/representations/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBL1lvQVE9PSIsImV4cCI6IjIwMjYtMTEtMDFUMDM6MTQ6NTMuNjE5WiIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--e413c79e4012c8b973fef3645a7f9e911c228a64/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJU2xCSEJqb0dSVlE2RTNKbGMybDZaVjkwYjE5bWFXeHNXd2RwQXBBQmFRS1FBUT09IiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJ2YXJpYXRpb24ifX0=--7ad7eb0934c77c507a75fddf54a256512e915d4e/IMG_4440.JPG","http://d27925nfpi4rwv.cloudfront.net/rails/active_storage/representations/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBL2NvQVE9PSIsImV4cCI6IjIwMjYtMTEtMDFUMDM6MTQ6NTMuNjIxWiIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--2eeb20e69e335b5fac1fb8c476bb84fab9ede1c8/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJU2xCSEJqb0dSVlE2RTNKbGMybDZaVjkwYjE5bWFXeHNXd2RwQXBBQmFRS1FBUT09IiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJ2YXJpYXRpb24ifX0=--7ad7eb0934c77c507a75fddf54a256512e915d4e/IMG_4441.JPG","http://d27925nfpi4rwv.cloudfront.net/rails/active_storage/representations/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBL2tvQVE9PSIsImV4cCI6IjIwMjYtMTEtMDFUMDM6MTQ6NTMuNjI0WiIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--7cb1645b6024bbb618b4ab70ca9cc025be56d0b1/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJU2xCSEJqb0dSVlE2RTNKbGMybDZaVjkwYjE5bWFXeHNXd2RwQXBBQmFRS1FBUT09IiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJ2YXJpYXRpb24ifX0=--7ad7eb0934c77c507a75fddf54a256512e915d4e/IMG_4448.JPG","http://d27925nfpi4rwv.cloudfront.net/rails/active_storage/representations/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBejRyQVE9PSIsImV4cCI6IjIwMjYtMTEtMDFUMDM6MTQ6NTMuNjI3WiIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--53eb9f9df73194fbf29d7b8a050dd2899097caa6/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJU2xCSEJqb0dSVlE2RTNKbGMybDZaVjkwYjE5bWFXeHNXd2RwQXBBQmFRS1FBUT09IiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJ2YXJpYXRpb24ifX0=--7ad7eb0934c77c507a75fddf54a256512e915d4e/IMG_4438.JPG","http://d27925nfpi4rwv.cloudfront.net/rails/active_storage/representations/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBejhyQVE9PSIsImV4cCI6IjIwMjYtMTEtMDFUMDM6MTQ6NTMuNjMwWiIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--6c9fcf5b730a62ac0c568d6003ca4a2eea604d87/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJU2xCSEJqb0dSVlE2RTNKbGMybDZaVjkwYjE5bWFXeHNXd2RwQXBBQmFRS1FBUT09IiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJ2YXJpYXRpb24ifX0=--7ad7eb0934c77c507a75fddf54a256512e915d4e/IMG_4439.JPG","http://d27925nfpi4rwv.cloudfront.net/rails/active_storage/representations/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBMndyQVE9PSIsImV4cCI6IjIwMjYtMTEtMDFUMDM6MTQ6NTMuNjMyWiIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--094cbe98fd77834d26c72e3157ee83abfd15ab23/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJU2xCSEJqb0dSVlE2RTNKbGMybDZaVjkwYjE5bWFXeHNXd2RwQXBBQmFRS1FBUT09IiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJ2YXJpYXRpb24ifX0=--7ad7eb0934c77c507a75fddf54a256512e915d4e/IMG_4437.JPG","http://d27925nfpi4rwv.cloudfront.net/rails/active_storage/representations/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBM1VyQVE9PSIsImV4cCI6IjIwMjYtMTEtMDFUMDM6MTQ6NTMuNjM1WiIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--eb201aaaebbd0da35142f468cb02abd4ec54fa7e/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJU2xCSEJqb0dSVlE2RTNKbGMybDZaVjkwYjE5bWFXeHNXd2RwQXBBQmFRS1FBUT09IiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJ2YXJpYXRpb24ifX0=--7ad7eb0934c77c507a75fddf54a256512e915d4e/IMG_4450.JPG","http://d27925nfpi4rwv.cloudfront.net/rails/active_storage/representations/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI
