Eric is going to look into that with the city. With all of the work they are doing in the buffer I am amazed we haven't seen more turbidity when it rains. Speaking of which, I'm going to be curious to see how they replant this one, now that I'm all educated about replanting stream buffers! - SStream keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01794438813051259822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192866454254008683.post-77073980630356574872011-10-24T08:41:46.981-07:002011-10-24T08:41:46.981-07:00That is a bummer, especially considering that it w...That is a bummer, especially considering that it went through the proper permit channels and was still allowed to happen at this time of year. Even when a diversion is in place water quality must meet Dept. of Ecology standards for turbidity, which it looks like it didn't. I bet the HPA permit requires a biologist onsite to measure turbidity while they are working in the stream...it would be interesting to see whether or not that was required. If it was, they should have turbidity data and the biologist they hired should have stopped work when the stream got too silty.<br /><br />--Sammy the SalmonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192866454254008683.post-92069186100771131272011-10-23T21:11:19.034-07:002011-10-23T21:11:19.034-07:00Thank you, and I hear you for sure.

Yes, we almost did call the DOE, but then dropped the ball. Seems like all the stalled out projects to the north of us suddenly started moving forward. I wonder what will happen when the rain really starts falling.Stream keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01794438813051259822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192866454254008683.post-13824223340737691842011-10-23T20:48:28.940-07:002011-10-23T20:48:28.940-07:00Be careful, Staci.

Eventually they were fined, but it took a while. You might want to call Ecology. Elizabeth knows who to contact, I think. It's so sad. Hate to see this. W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
