There is a stream down the hill from my house. It winds down a a valley to the larger stream I mentioned yesterday
The valley has been used by folks for a couple of hundred years, there is a main road that crosses the stream several times and many houses built right up to the banks.
Undercutting has been a problem due to the apparent increase in storm intensity over the last decade or so.
Erosion is a constant and various means have been attempted to keep it under control. Down the street from me is a concrete lined section.
This particular job is a continuation of a more recent attempt using more “natural” methods to keep things in check.
The stream has been carrying a pretty heavy silt load for the last couple of months. It had previously run pretty clear.
This is some of the current silt control. The pipe is carrying the stream from the other side of the construction area. Does not seem to be working all that well.
It could be worse.
