Review Notes : Document is a slide deck titled 'Floodplain Assessment' dated April 14, 2004. The slide noting 'Reconnaissance 04/06/05' and planned sampling 'mid to late May' does not specify the year for the May sampling; this may indicate follow-up activity in 2005 but that is not explicitly stated. No authorship or publishing organization is shown on the slides.
