Are those on Hill Place/Aspen Ridge?
I thought we were to expect more from the new developer than the last one... but this looks like more of the same.
If the Aspen Ridge guys had not been allowed to remove the absorbent soil, this would most likely not happen, as that soil could deal with the water where it fell.
When will our city officials begin to demand quality work with low impact practices, not just accept anything a developer is willing to try to get away with. If a developer can do anything they want with a place they are able to get a bank to back, why even have the reviews?
Eventually the city will be the one asked to pick up the pieces, or dredge the private (Boardwalk) lake, or what have you.

If this was on Hill Place/Aspen ridge... Use -> http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/WebSoilSurvey.aspx to find what soil types are in that area and cross reference with the city of Fayetteville's drainage manual and you will find that the soils are type C and type D. These soils are not suitable for infiltration as you purport. Also, low impact practices are POST Development not DURING development. Mind that the pictured silt fence is slumped, BUT looking at the water that is going over it is clear which to me means no sedimentation. I do hope that the contractor will see this area and fix it and maybe some more pictures will be taken of the area to show that proper maintenance is being done.

Stop the crap. These are pictures of the old silt fence. If you really cared you'd be out there repairing it instead of taking pictures. If you find a problem report it to our construction office off 6th St. and we'll get someone right on it. The difference is we care and WILL do something about it.

You are trespassing by the way and that's illegal.
