Am I the only one who saw that massive sediment plume from the new marina dredge in Clearwater last Tuesday?

I was driving over the causeway and the plume from their overflow pipe looked like it stretched a solid half-mile, which got me thinking about how different outfits handle their turbidity curtains.

Oh man, you are definitely not the only one. That thing was huge, like a brown cloud just spreading out. Saw it from the beach and it looked way worse than the last time they did work over by the channel. Some crews just don't seem to care at all about keeping the silt contained.

Ugh, tell me about it, @paige_owens5, my own yard's a mud pit and they're making new ones.

Maybe they just had a rough day, @ryanm60?

Three construction sites in my neighborhood this month alone. Tbh some crews just don't care about the mess they leave behind.
