 * Leslie and Sulphur Runs are both being visually inspected for sheen in sediment over nearly five miles of the creeks. So far, 4,900 feet of Sulphur Run have been inspected from the confluence of Sulphur Run and Leslie Run to where Sulphur Run meets the North Ditch. The remaining sections that need to be inspected represent the upstream areas and will be completed after Leslie Run is finished. Samples of sheen and sediment may be collected based upon visual sheen inspection results.
