| 29-11-2022 | <p>One side of this site is a mix of weeds and indigenous flora. The other side, recently weeded, has been planted with indigenous vegetation. Some of the instream cover and verge vegetation has been compromised by recent flooding but there is reason to believe that these conditions will improve with time. </p> | Good 4 | Fair 6 | Fair 6 | Good 4 | Fair 6 | 26 |
| 12-09-2022 | <p>This is a new test area approx 1800 mtr downstream from noted test location due to limited access at listed test point per Richard Akers. Stream bed is in an enclosed valley with limited inflow from other sources. Limited to small scale rural properties. Some clearing of invasive veg has been undertaken and native species planted. Bank has not been disturbed - Invasives on bank have been delimbed and cut back leaving rootbed intact to minimize erosion thru removal.</p> <p> </p> | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Fair 6 | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | 24 |

| 29-03-2017 | <p>Stream side vegetation shows signs(flattening) due to recent heavy rain on 21.3.17 when we had in excess of 60 mm however the stream level today was lower than it was at our Spring survey.</p> | Good 4 | Fair 6 | Good 8 | Good 4 | Fair 6 | 28 |
