Litter/Pollutants
Only 1 mm of rainfall in last 7 days Litter: Other includes 1 chair in midstream and 2 ciggie butts What has changed since last time you monitored? Much lower flow out of drain, half mixing in pipe with Plenty River water, so could not get a sample for DO test. Ammonia and Phosphate samples tested at 18 degrees C. Slightly foamy when agitated.
