After many visits I’ve noticed that numerous of times there have been beer bottles left on the site. I have no idea who puts them there but it happens often. So Lauren when you visit can you keep an eye out for that. And how would you like me to determine the mass of the lysimeter because the scale is messed up.

The plants on the site looks really healthy. Some of the piezometers are currently covered by the plants. There were napkins and tissues in the site and was removed. Everything seem to be in order but this time no signs of any animal using the site.

The grass is high. There were men working on the neighbor’s yard. The lawn truck was parked on the sewer. When the truck left, I noticed there was grass and water. The sewer did not drain from the rain the day before.

The site looks in pretty good shape, however there are still complaints about how high the vegetation is growing. Also we would like to see some trash cans in the area.

Meadowlake

The usual mix of flourishing and dead plants. A lot of the plants that are submerged by the overflow weir are dead – not the reeds or grasses, but the ones with the waxy leaves on stalks. This is the first time I’ve noticed mosquitoes at Meadowlake.

Meadowlake

by Meadowlake No Comments

This is the first time I have been to Meadowlake on an overcast day with light occasional rain. There were unusual bird species there: tree swallows and a blue-winged teal instead of mallards. The plants seem to be establishing very well in some patches, and poorly in others. Most of the reed-like grasses are doing average or thriving. The plant life that is consistently in pooling (each of the 4 weeks I’ve visited) seems to be more polarized; some are thriving, others have brown dry leaves. Again, the reed grasses are doing fairly well, but those with distinct stems and leaves are doing poorly.
