Ammonium (0.80 mg/L) and Phosphate (0.40 mg/L) were particularly high this time, requiring 1:1 dilution to get readings.
EC was high and DO was low, probably consistent with the low flow and lack of recent rainfall, although the EC reading was quite a bit higher than upstream at the Fort Knox site.
Litter included quite a lot of plastic; also a bike frameComparison with the upstream site at Fort Knox was interesting, as there the Ammonium was also high (0.50 mg/L), although the Phosphate level was fairly normal.
