Out of Compliance

Compliance Eval (non-sampling) (CEI)
A partial inspection was conducted on August 25, 2023 by inspector Bonnie Craighead. At the time of inspection the culvert installed on Straight Creek Road that drains a UT to Straight Creek was observed to be impaired by beaver activity. Beavers have used sticks, mud, and debris to dam around the pipe, fully concealing it and causing water to be impounded up to the top of the culvert, approximately four feet. This threatens the integrity of the culvert and the road and is impairing the flow of the UT to Straight Creek.

At the time of inspection neither Outfalls 001 or 002 were discharging.

This site is out of compliance for failing to submit second and third quarter 2023 Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs).
