Event 3 - 15 Nov 2015 (additional erosion and sedimentation controls installed but a gap is left; still no cleanup)

Additional silt fences were installed but a gap was left in the fence where contaminated runoff will continue to flow around the fence and into the street. The deposition left from the October 30 event still hasn't been cleaned up.

Event 4 - 17 Nov 2015 (still no cleanup)

The deposition left from the October 30 event still hasn't been cleaned up, and it is slowly being swept into the storm sewer by the latest rain.
