Erosion Control Issues at Multiple Sites (July 22, 2018)
The following photos of 29 sites were taken on Sunday, July 22, 2018. They are in alphabetical order by street name.The sites were reported to the City on July 23, 2018.
1804 Ann Arbor (in Barton Springs Zone)
Photo 1 - crushed silt fence
Photo 2 - silt fence not maintained
2010 Ashby (in Barton Springs Zone)
Photo 1 - gaps in mulch sock; if it rains, mulch socks will not prevent erosion of sand in driveway
Photo 2 - mulch sock will not prevent erosion of loose dirt between silt fence and mulch socks
2105 Ashby (in Barton Springs Zone)
Photo 1 - silt fence not maintained
Photo 2 - gap in silt fence with high mounds of dirt on a steep slope behind
2019 Ashby (in Barton Springs Zone)
Photo 1 - silt fence need to extend up driveway; on this steep slope, mulch socks laying in the gutter will not stop sediment from leaving the site
1113 Azie Morton (in Barton Springs Zone)
This site has been reported multiple times (see this page). The gap in the silt fence was originally reported on May 22, 2018. Two previous videos (video from May 22 and video from July 9) show muddy water with sediment flowing through this gap.
Photo 1 - gap in silt fence still not repaired
Photo 2 -no erosion controls between and mulch socks and gutter; loose dirt will leave site if it rains
1601 Bauerle
Photo 1 - no erosion controls to the left; large mound of dirt not covered; mulch sock laying in gutter will not stop any sediment from leaving the site
Photo 2 - hole in silt fence
1109 Bluebonnet (in Barton Springs Zone)
This site has been reported multiple times (see this page).
Photo 1 - silt fence mangled and not maintained; these controls will not prevent sediment from leaving the site because of the significant slope and volume of water
Photo 2 - runoff from the site will move these unsecured mulch socks and sediment will probably overflow them if there is a significant rainfall event
Photo 3 - hole in curb under unsecured silt fence will allow sediment to leave; bottom of silt fence needs to be secured and filled in behind curb hole to prevent sediment from leaving
Photo 4 - silt fence along front ends just to the left of this photo with no j-hook; silt fence needs to extend all the way up the edge of the site to prevent sediment from leaving site
1902 Collier
Photo 1 - gaps in mulch sock
Photo 2 - mangled and flattened silt fence
904 Ethel
Photo 1 - gap in silt fence will allow sediment from large dirt piles on site to excape
Photo 2
804 Garner
Photo 1 - mulch sock does not extend to silt fence; loose dirt should not be piled outside of silt fence; this dirt will erode especially as water flows around the mulch sock
2010 Goodrich
This site has been reported multiple times (see this page).
Photo 1 - hole in silt fence
Photo 2 - no erosion controls at left corner of driveway
Photo 3 - no erosion controls along either side of driveway

Photo 3 - no erosion controls across drive
700 Jessie
Photo 1 - flattened silt fence
Photo 2 - gap in silt fence on left
900 Jessie
Photo 1 - triangulat dike sitting on dirt pile not effective if not in place
Photo 2 - gap between silt fence and planter will allow runoff and sediment to escape
Photo 3 - sediment from 900 Jessie in gutter downstream has never been cleaned up
1705 Juliet
Photo 1 - inadequate erosion controls; mulch socks should not replace silt fences especially when they are mostly lower than the ground level
Photo 2 - closeup of dirt pile at edge of curb with no erosion controls
1807 Linscomb
Photo 1 - crushed silt fence will allow runoff and sediment that collects to this corner to runoff
1406 Oxford
Photo 1 - mounds of dirt with no erosion control
Photo 2 - more mounds of dirt with no erosion control
Photo 3 - bare dirt with no erosion control
Photo 4 - no erosion controls
1501 Oxford
Photo 1 - dirt outside of mulch sock will not be contained; mulch sock not secured or weighted down
Photo 2 - bare dirt with no erosion control
1900 Paramount (in Barton Springs Zone)
Photo 1 - bare dirt without erosion controls
1912 Paramount (in Barton Springs Zone)

Photo 1 - no erosion controls
Photo 2 - no erosion control
1407 Rabb (in Barton Springs Zone)
Photo 1 - gap in mulch socks simply funnel runoff and sediment to single point
Photo 2 - no j-hook on silt fences; flattened mulch sock will probably not be adequate to prevent runoff and sediment from overtopping it

Photo 1 - pile of dirt without controls; no controls across driveway or along driveway
2207 Rundell (in Barton Springs Zone)
Photo 1 - no controls across driveway or along driveway
1805 Sunset View

Photo 2 - no controls along driveway or front curb
Photo 3 - flattened mulch sock will not prevent runoff and sediment from overtopping it
Photo 4- flattened mulch sock will not prevent runoff and sediment from overtopping it
Photo 5 - - flattened mulch sock will not prevent runoff and sediment from overtopping it or going around it
1808 Treadwell
Photo 1 - runoff and sediment will go through gaps in mulch socks; no j-hook on silt fence
