Mes'n up Sandy Creek

I can't believe how bad the someone building the bridge over Sandy creek at Raymilton is screwing this stream up. He doesn't have enough silt fence and isn't maintaining what is there.
Even with the low water the creek is cloudy downsteam for a long long way, and the rocks are covered with sediment so thick it looks like you could plant potatoes in it. You would think there would be an inspector on site to prevent this crap. This will put a hurtin on any aquatic insect life for sure. I'm trying to get to the DEP to look into it but can't get them till Monday.

    Thats a shame. Some decent holes downstream I like.
    Still have the deep holes upstream but not good fly water.

    Not Little Sandy. But, yes, the Sandy near Polk.
