Soil Erosion at the Plaza Corp Construction Site - Aug. 2011

Heavy rains caused considerable soil erosion at the Plaza Corp construction site in August, 2011, resulting in further siltation of the Ellen's Creek Watershed. This is just an example of how inadequate control of soil erosion impacts our watershed. See the news story on CBC Compass.
There was a silt trap at the site, but it proved to be inadequate.
Erosion from the unprotected embankment created by the development.
Malpeque Rd Highway "Ditch" completely blocked with silt.

Culvert exit and silt laden water flowing down to the hill to Ellen's Creek. Note the eroded bank of clay on the ride side of the stream indicating how high the flow of water must have been at one time.
