Hannah and Tom,
The project inspector at the subject project has reported a sediment loss at the inlet of Culvert 1
which occurred during the Idalia rain event. The site received more than 5" of rain in a 24-hour
period. Please see the attached photo of the sediment over the riprap at the inlet of the culvert.
Site 1
Sta. 21+85 Lt of -L- at the inlet of the culvert
2.5 CY of sediment (depth over the riprap is approximately 5" deep)
The assistant resident explained:
The loss (photo 1) was the result of erosion of embankment placed to back up the recently placed
curbing (photo 2). Soil erosion measures we in place and the contractor temporary seeded and
mulched the embankment areas on Wednesday 8/30/23. The site received more than 5" of rain in a
24 hour period and the subsequent runoff caused a silt fence failure (photo 3) resulting in this loss.
We would like to determine the best way to repair this site, with your input. I understand that there
is no obvious sediment downstream of either culvert which can be recovered.
Thank you,
Anneliese
