Litter included a car tyre, a shoe, wood, a section of paling fence; branches and leaves. The surface was very brown-scummy, with some streaks of oil. The sample needed to be filtered for the Ammonium and Phosphate tests because the turbidity was so high. And it was necessary to dilute for the Ammonium test because the level of that was so high. The Phosphate level was relatively high too
