There have been inadequate erosion and sedimentation controls throughout most of this construction project. This site has been reported to the City four times: 02 May 2016, 22 May 2016, 15 Aug 2016, and 19 Sep 2016.

Event 2 - 22 May 2016 (inadequate erosion controls)

A piece of plastic has been placed across some of the bare ground to prevent erosion, but it has a great deal of dirt and sediment on it that will quickly wash off into the street if there is any significant rain. Although there is a silt fence halfway across the front, contaminated runoff can flow around it because it is not turned up. To the left of the silt fence, there are no erosion controls between the bare ground and the curb. Reported again to the City on May 22, 2016.

Event 3 - 27 May 2016 (inadequate erosion controls)

Silt fence has been installed all the way to the driveway but there is no erosion controls uphill of the erosion control blanket. Sediment under the blanket will be contained but sediment uphill of the blanket will flow over the blanket and down to the street.
