Good morning.
It was the best of times...oh..never mind all that...
Silas Creek was dammed in 1917 to form Lake Katharine at the Reynolds Estate.
RJR's Whitaker Park construction mud ran downstream into this lake turning it into a
swamp.
Well meaning students have attempted to dredge the swamp mud but have been
defeated.
Salem Lake water supply is being dammed by mud from the new beltway highway
project.
As with Swamp Katharine this mud is permanent.

Take a ride on 40 Business to K'ville and see the new orange in Salem Lake as you cross
the bridge.
Today would be a rainy good day to visit mile marker 12 on Business 40 to see how the
lack erosion control device maintenance on the Beltway project is allowing tons of mud
to foul our water supply.
The purported erosion control features at mile marker 12 are not working.
Salem Lake is becoming a giant mud catch basin and is Salem Swamp.
Will well meaning DOT workers attempt to save our water supply with dredge buckets?
Will NCDEQ staff be asking NCDOT what is wrong with the mud control plan at mile
marker 12?
Thank you.

perhaps this company on Lowery Street can help protect our lake:
