The chemical tests given here refer to a sample taken from the East Panorama Drain, just upstream from the test site. No sample was taken from the usual test site as it was filled with cut branches which had been thrown into the creek from the road above. Clearing them out muddied the water at the test site, and it was felt this may affect the chemical analysis. Note that the Phosphate levels coming form the drain are still sky high (off the high range scale)
