Local construction sending sediment to James and Chesapeake?

No wonder the James River and the Chesapeake Bay are overburden with nutrient and sediment pollution! Sediment from construction sites like the one pictured at 20th and Broad St. in Church Hill are a big part of the problem.


Just for the record, there are plenty of options for developers to make sure sediment stays on site during construction instead of flowing into our streets, stormdrains, and waterways everytime it rains.
