Rainfall: none for last 3 days, 11 mm for last 7 days. The rocks forming the new dam wall seem to have been disturbed, and so the depth of wate at the monitoring sopt is only about half what it was last time. The weeds have grown, and over-all it doesn't look nearly as pleasant as it did a month ago. Ammonium levels are not as hihg as last month, but are still higher than normal for each site, However it does not all seem to be attributable to inflow upstream of Fort Knox this time. North and south inlet drain: no flow
