Tip or Complaint: Along at least two areas on Thrasher Pike and the Railroad Crossing at Thrasher Pike there is a lot of orange colored sediment laden water coming from the excavation site on the hill. Some of it enters the ditch from a green pipe that empties from the site into the ditch alongside Thrasher Pike. The other area is coming from the hillside near the entrance at the railroad, enters the ditch alongside the railroad tracks and then enters the North Chickamauga Creek. Photos will be attached.
