How about that erosion/silt control?

While some WLakeans seem to be very focused on siltation from Sonoma Ridge, our friends from KCMO and their contractors largely ignore any preventative measures along the Barry Road Mud Hole by Park Hill High. Where does the flow go? Downhill. Where does it end up? Yep, the same spot you and I recreate/swim/fish/boat/enjoy. For them, our lake is one big containment pond. Oh, by the way, Bob Williamson from KCMO Water is "sorry" about the last sewer spill that caused 30,000 plus gallons of raw sewage to spill into our lake. But then he said that the last time it happened. We narrowly missed hundreds of thousands of gallons spilling into the lake that time as convoys of tankers had to haul sewage from the pumping station at U Cove. Hey, the City will pound you if you don't have proper siltation control on your property. Outside the City, as Borat would say, not so much.
