A Fishpot Watershed Photo Album

Rubble
and erosion control blanket eroded from the streambank. Installed
by a contractor with NO engineering design, it failed within months
of installation.

|
This
exposed sanitary manhole runs the risk of raw sewage entering
the stream. At one time, this manhole was NOT exposed,
but due to erosion, has emerged to stand alone.

Flared
end section and head wall broke off during a high flow and carried
downstream and will eventually end up in the Meramec.

 |
|
An
erosion control blanket and
trash entangled in a very large downed tree on its way to the Meramec.

|
Lying
just at the top of the rock in the center of the stream is a concrete
encased sanitary sewer crossing in Fishpot upstream of Sulphur Springs
Road.

Notice
the size of these rocks in comparison to a man standing in their
midst.

More
of the same: Erosion Control Blanket and rubble that was supposed
to hold the blanket down. Blanket will not disintegrate, but will
remain until someone disposes of it or it washes downstream into
the Meramec.

An
illustration of incision. Running across the stream is an exposed
sewer pipe. This used to be buried tree foot UNDER the creek.
|
 |
|
An
exposed cable which was buried. It was exposed due to bank erosion
caused by channel widening in lower Fishpot.

The
Fish pots and gravel dunes common to lower Fishpot Watershed.

Another
perspective of the same sanitary sewer line. Sulphur Springs Road
is at the top of the culvert. The six food diameter rock downstream
of concrete encased sanitary sewer crossing is being moved by the
high flows in this tributary.
