This silt fence looks pretty ugly and inspection shows it certainly needs maintenance; but does it? The silt fence made sense before we excavated several feet, now it doesn’t. There is a turbidity curtain in the river to the right and the contractor is careful to pull material back from the riverbank. I am going to let this go.
