I have a few concerns. <br /> 1. The erosion at the top of the hill is not really improved, but is about the same as the "before" photo you <br /> attached. The grass mat added by the contractor has not really stabilized. It has been washed away and all that <br /> is left in the plastic mesh. <br /> 2. The swale washout/ erosion is worse than ever and my concern is that it does not appear able to withstand <br /> even a 1 year rain event. (see attached photo) I realize this has been a wet summer, but just look at that photo! <br /> There is standing water from the drain to the lake. There is crap washing into my yard and into the lake. The <br /> water in front of my house currently has a sludgy film covering the water at the area the drainage enters the <br /> lake. As I mentioned when we met, this swale area has never been completely dry since you installed it. <br /> This really is unacceptable and my concern is that by directing all of the neighborhood's rain runoff into my <br /> yard, you have created a situation where I will be dealing with this wet, soggy eyesore from now on, not to <br /> mention the damage to the water quality in front of my house. As I reported when we met, I really wasn't given <br /> any good choices in this scenario - either add the drain/swale or don't - either way, all the drainage from the <br /> neighborhood was still going to come through my yard. As it is, my yard and the lake have never been worse in <br /> the 33 years I've been at 2691 Carloine Ave. <br /> I look forward to hearing your schedule for making these adjustments to the swale and I hope they address the <br /> problems. Right now, I am concerned about the success of your plan. <br /> Thanks again - <br /> Harry Pulver <br /> 1 <br />
