Dissolved oxygen is lower than earlier this month. Possibly due to the low level of the creek.
Elecrtical conductivity is significantly higher also possibly due to the low level of the creek.
Plastic pollutants in the creek were 2 plastic bags and a blue plastic hanging over a fallen log.
Water for testing we again taken from the south of the bridge because of the fallen branches in the creek leaving not enough clear space to sample the water.
