The site was fairly clean this visit, just a couple of cans and the usual plastic rings from a six-pack (I do remove them each month, but they keep reappearing!). There was evidence of some cleaning up in the area, clearing of weeds, and a bit of mulching too. Phosphate and Ammonium were quit low this time, although the high turbidity meant I needed to filter the sample before testing.
