Erosion Problems

Some days it is hard to predict what a blog may be about.  We went for  short drive north of town to see if we could see some of the reported 2 inch hail and we did. 

We also ran across this construction site that was eroding out into the road and washing from there almost directly into the city's Glen Shoals Lake.  Farmers take a lot of heat for erosion on cropland, but sites like this contribute a large percentage of their sediment to the lake.  Everyone needs to take responsibility for their contribution to the problem and try to do something about it.  This site has no silt fence, no straw bales, and no temporary seeding.  any of those would have prevented the mess.
