Event 2 - 13 Apr 2016 (inadequate erosion controls)

These three houses are all in a row. All have inadequate erosion controls. Sediment came off of these sites although it is difficult to know how much each contributed. Reported to the City on April 14, 2016. A written warning was issued by the City for 1700 and 1614 Nash. A verbal warning was issued by the City for 1618 Nash.

Event 3 - 30 Apr 2016 (inadequate erosion controls)

1700 Nash and 1614 Nash still have have inadequate erosion controls. Written warnings from City had no apparent effect. Sediment came off of these sites and was deposited in the gutters although it is difficult to know how much each contributed. Reported again to the City on May 2, 2016.
