Hey David
We experienced the same thing during our construction site visit, but it was actually raining and there was no flow, so
that's concerning.
Thanks for the update!
Go Tigers!!! (Not Geaux Tigers)

I was out in Madison County today & stopped by the Shake Rag DMS Mitigation site to observe stream flows in the UTs
west of Shake Rag Branch (UT4, UT3, & UT7). These were UTs that were buried in the past by the property owner and/or
had colluvial debris in the upper reaches. The weather today was clear, about 50 degree F, ground was wet. The last rain
in the area was Monday night into Tuesday late AM totaling 0.3-0.5 inches over 12-16 hours. The amount of
precipitation in the area since early October 2019 has overall been normal/average.

Overall the flows in Shake Rag Branch, UT4, UT3, & UT 7 were good. The channels were wet and had good flow, except
to 3 very short segments (see attached figure). About 30 meters downstream of the top of UT4 flow does not go over a
rock structure. On UT3 close to the where Wetland G was flagged, there are 2 spots where stream flow has short-circuit
around/under some structures and the constructed bed. Also, along the stream banks and within the conservation
easement I observed a number of flowing wet springs and seeps.
Happy New Year & go Tigers!
David
