Secchi measurement today was 22...more particles in water and murkier. Water level in river much higher...no algae on surface anymore...likely hiding under higher water or floated downstream.
This is what I see looking down into the secchi tube.
Tea colored water..lots of particles...more than the other 3 weeks of readings.
This is the east side of Dove Road bridge close to Randall, Mn. Little Elk River runs through Clearwater Kennel, the largest puppy mill in Minnesota and one of the nations largest as well. Owned by Wanda Kretzman(Morrison Countys own CRUELLA) and her corporate partners. (Likely... Gary McDuffee and sons Jason and Ryan).
Water flowing eastward towards the Mississippi.
All pictures taken 10-30-15. My fingers were freezing. Last reading of the year. Will resume spring of 2016, when MPCA will be monitoring entire watershed for toxins, fecal choliform, phosphorus, nitrates, sediment and more. Stay tuned. MPCA sure could use some more citizen stream monitors. Please consider volunteering.
