Tributary to the Chattahoochee in Roswell, GA

I plan to focus my study on these 3 subjects in the stream behind my apartment complex. I have not been able to find an official name or mapping of this stream. 

1. Habitat assessment
Determine any pollution sources and conduct a general ecology survey (prior to fall). Map the relevant reach with a Trimble unit. 

2. Biological condition
Macroinvertebrate sampling
Screen for impairment; identify water quality trends; determine support of designated aquatic life uses.

Chemical condition

3. Water quality sampling (YS1- sonde device)

Screen for impairment; identify specific pollutants of concern; identify water quality trends; determine support of designated contact recreation uses; identify potential pollution sources
