water is stagnant and pooling in deep pool under bridge. Creek banks are set back from water's edge and little exposed. Abundant exotic instream grasses and plants. Good coverage of reeds and phragmities. The creek turns into a wetland when no rain. Water appears green with thick alage and film of oil on surface- very unpleasant.
