Above photo: All of these photos were taken today Monday, June 10, 2013. Note, that before this morning's rain started, the litter trap was already full of trash and debris. The tide was coming in which is why the boom is bowed upward.
Above photo: A brief heavy downpour caused trash coming from the nearby drainpipe to go right by the litter trap like it always does. All the turbidity was coming from that drainpipe, along with a plume of oil which can be seen after every rain.
Above photo: A big plume of oil can be seen flowing down Eslava Creek at this location after every rain. BP would be fined for allowing this. The City of Mobile and their engineering firm that is in charge of the City's stormwater runoff ignores the oil pollution into Dog River.
Above photo: Just downstream of the City's litter trap garbage comes out of a double-barreled drainage culvert and flows down Eslava Creek into Dog River. The City of Mobile continues to ignore this floating garbage coming from their drainage ditch.
Above photo: The City of Mobile's cheap DESMI litter trap continues to fail after almost every rain. You can see the litter boom going underwater on the top side and trash flowing over the boom on the bottom side. Authorities keep claiming the litter trap is working even though most of the trash flows right over the boom and continues on downstream. This wasn't even a heavy rain. Just wait to see how deep the trap goes underwater when the waters rise 4 feet.
About photo: Two pieces of Styrofoam just floated over the litter trap boom.
Above photo: Because the City of Mobile continues to ignore their trash pollution in Eslava Creek, and they won't replace the cheap DESMI litter trap which does not work, and the city has no one removing the trash that comes from all the other ditches, City of Mobile Dog River Park shoreline is lined with trash. Plus the City of Mobile ignores that trash too. Someone should be fired!
Above photo: ADEM as usual has their head up their ass. The construction at Brookley continues to dump a heavy sediment plume into Rabby Creek which dumps into Dog River despite multiple complaints. Adem's inspector can't find the source of the sediment. Someone needs to be fired!
