Dear William,
I live along Chimes Creek and am monitoring water quality during construction of the Leona Quarry Development. So far there has been a great deal of material introduced into the creek by activities in the Quarry.
The following is documentation of April 2004:

April 2
Brown Silt, creek opaque.

April 6
Brown silt, creek opaque.
Foam appeared later in day.

April 14
White foam on surface.

April 22
Brown silt. creek opaque.

April 27
Brown silt. creek opaque.
Water level fluctuation.
Minor flooding.

April 28
Continued brown silt, creek opaque.
water level fluctuation.

Right now (4/28)  the creek continues to be brown and opaque. I will continue to monitor the creek and keep you informed.
