    Complaint Description and Writeup

    Original complaint was sediment coming from the water treatment plant's filter backwash. Updated the complaint to say there may bother sources of sediment above the pond.

    12/16/24- RTK and LBD investigated. Started at confluence of Good Branch and East Fork Mulberry Creek. Some sediment has accumulated in this area. Drove down Goodbranch Road past Lynchburg Renewable Fuels site and did not see any active sediment loss.

    12/28/24- RTK received photos from complainant of evident color contrast to stream.

    01/01/25- RTK viewed photos on phone

    01/02/25- replied to complainant that RTK's second investigation will be on 1/3/25

    01/03/25- RTK went to areas that complainant submitted photos of and not color contrast was observed. RTK met with personnel on site at Metro Moore County Water Plant (MMCWP) to ensure they are aware of complaint and to look at outfall location.
