Brookley Road Construction - a City of Mobile project. MCR-2012-003. Guess the City of Mobile cannot oversee their own construction projects when it comes to Erosion and Sediment Control. A site visit after the rain still showed unprotected ditches and inlets with no BMPs in sight. Guess that is why the waters got muddy around Brookley. The first four photos were taken less than 1/2 mile from ADEM's office. To the contractor's credit, he did get a good bit of roadway shoulder stabilized with erosion control material and he did add additional BMPs around some outfalls and in ditches. Why do Muddy Water Watch volunteers have to do the monitoring and file reports to contractors saying their construction sites lack BMPs? That should be part of the City of Mobile's responsibility to protect area waterways. No wonder why ADEM just sued the City of Mobile partly for storm water issues. The City requires erosion and sediment control plans on big construction projects. If contractors won't install the proper BMPs, don't let them do work for the City. Look at the terrible paving job this contractor did - leaving low spots where puddles take up an entire lane.
