It appears that most of the sediment eroded down the slope and deposited on either side of the stream banks behind the silt fence (see slope failure pictures). However, due to the large amount of sediment and rain, the fence was overtopped and undercut in some areas which allowed some sediment to undoubtedly reach the stream based on the thin layers of silt on some of the riprap. There must have been significant velocity during the rain event because the sediment did not appear to severely deposit in any particular areas and evidently washed down stream. I walked several hundred yards downstream of the site and did not notice any significant sediment buildup that would have appeared to come from the site (see repair pictures). NCDOT has repaired the slope and removed the deposited sediment from behind the silt fences (see repair pictures). The slope is also scheduled to be matted and seeded. The silt fence has been repaired or replaced as necessary (see repair pictures). In addition, a berm has been installed at the top of the slope and an additional slope drain has been added to help divide the stormwater and send it to different basins. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, suggestions or if you would like to visit the site.
