Ammonium rate has dropped off from what it was last time. Quite a lot of water is present in this site today and water is clearly flowing on as well. Due to the recent amount of rainfall I can see how the land around this area is managed and how water is carried from the nearby paddock... Rubbish on this site was terrible , site is neglected from what I presume is litterbugs throwing their garbage out ... Persons conducting tests : Sarah Simmonds, Ross Simmonds.
