Downstream from Waste Water Treatment Plant

These pictures were taken under the Iron Horse Trails bridge off of Magic Mountain Parkway. It is downstream from the picture in the last blog. There were larger pools of water here but I did not see any stickleback. This was a known location of unarmored stickleback in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Review from 2009. The pictures shown below are of the stream and as I moved closer to the waste water expulsion area there was a strange orange growth in the water and some parts had oily bubbles on the surface as well.
