Observations -
8/13 Algae at the Bridge appeared to be flowing TOWARDS Benedict (could be wind)
8/15 Very slow flow at the Dam. Debris in Dam - not noticeably restricting flow
8/15 Powers Lake Culvert/Dam appears to be flowing slowly into Powers Lake
8/15 Powers Lake Culvert/Dam still has Beaver dam on Western Side of Culvert/Dam
8/15 First sign of beaver activity at the east side of the Forest Drive Culvert
All this gives the appearance that Tombeau and the area wetlands are the dominant body of water right now. This is likely in part due to the beaver dam at the Powers Lake Culvert/Dam. It is not known if there is other beaver activity on the creek from Powers to Tombeau
This could all change if we get some rain.
