Council workers in the area, mowing, and poisoning weeds etc at fencelines The water was very turbid; much more so than at the Fort Knox site today. And Phosphate was much higher than at Fort Knox too (would suspect there was a connection) Ammonium was also high here (as it was at the Fort Knox site) Samples required filtering for both Ammonium and Phosphate testing.
