Image by iamthechad via FlickrAs the road construction ramps up with the warming weather Barry-East, Amity and Barry west of West side are getting plenty of action. Can't help but notice new ground laid bare and big piles of dirt at the corner of East side and Barry. Erosion and siltation control? Some. Enough? You make the call...my opinion is it borders on atrocity. Have we(City/WLIC) made any noise? Don't know, hope so...and if so we aren't getting much of a response. Yikes Rain predicted for Sunday/Monday.
Just in time, WLIC has issued a call for Stream Team volunteers:
Dear WLIC Members,

I had the same thought, what if we get a big storm? There is no way run off is going to be prevented based on what I see.
Some should go to the new retention basin directly.... aka the 'Bean Field'. WLIC Board of Directors as calm as March lambs knowing everyone is paying for the soon to be started dredge.
