Erosion Control Issues at Multiple Sites (July 29, 2018)
The following photos of 38 sites were taken on Sunday, July 29, 2018. They are in alphabetical order by street name. With one or two exceptions, nothing appears to have been done to correct the problems that were reported to the City on July 23, 2018. The sites were again reported to the City on July 29, 2018.
2106 Allwood
Photo 1 - no erosion controls across entrance
1804 Ann Arbor (in Barton Springs Zone)
Photo 1 - crushed silt fence
Photo 2 - silt fence not maintained; no controls across driveway
2010 Ashby (in Barton Springs Zone)
Photo 1 - no silt fence along driveway or the curb along the street
Photo 2 - gaps in mulch sock; should be silt fence
2019 Ashby (in Barton Springs Zone)
Photo 1 - silt fence needs to extend up driveway; on this steep slope, mulch socks laying in the gutter will not stop sediment from leaving the site
2105 Ashby (in Barton Springs Zone)
Photo 1 - no erosion controls
Photo 2 - no erosion controls; steep slope will result in significant erosion
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 completely covered; mulch sock laying in gutter will not stop any sediment from leaving the site
Photo 2 - flattened silt fence and hole in silt fence
1109 Bluebonnet (in Barton Springs Zone)
This site has been reported multiple times (see this page).
Photo 1 - various controls haphazardly assembled at bottom of slope; these controls will likely not prevent sediment from leaving the site because of the significant slope
Photo 2 - 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 3 - 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; mangled and flattened silt fence
2100 De Verne
Photo 1 - notch in mulch sock will allow likely allow muddy water to leave site
Photo 2 - no controls across entrance

Photo 1 - no j-hook end of silt fence; gap will allow sediment to excape
Photo 2 - hole at bottom of silt fence
Photo 3 - holes in silt fence will allow sediment to excape
Photo 4 - mangled silt fence
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
