I’ll get up with Heath today let him know about this. I’ll head out to the site tomorrow. DOT was making repairs on
Thursday but don’t believe they could have created that much turbidity based on the pictures.

FYI,
Dave, I know you said you inspected DOT last week and they had a big storm early in the week. Joe said that Beaver
Creek had cleared up between that storm event and this turbidity event so it wasn’t that, unless DOT was maybe doing
some clean out or repair of measures? Just thought I’d send you guys more details in case you can figure anything more
out.
Thanks,

Hi Sue, thanks for the follow-up. It’s got to be coming from the US 221 project. Beaver Cr. ran muddy all day
after you left and around 1600 hrs it started to clear up some.
I’ve attached pictures I took that morning of the creek. As I mentioned, we had not started work that morning
as it ran muddy and we didn’t work in the stream all day.
Pictures:
1 – Confluence of Beaver Creek and South Fork New River
2 – Beaver Creek at SR 1147 Nettle Knob Road, approximately 0.8 miles above the restoration site
3 – Beaver Creek at SR 1195 Marsh Stuart Drive, approximately 1.8 miles above the restoration site
4 – Beaver Creek at a private drive crossing just below SR 221 and DOT construction
5 – Beaver Creek above US 221 construction at SR 1195, there are two tributaries at this location, the one
shown is slightly turbid, the other one, not show, was clear.
