Construction General Permit
 

My concern regards what seems to be growing siltation on the edges of main currents. Areas that used to hold nursery level water life seems to have disappeared. A certain amount of siltation is normal of course, but it seems to me the rivers are holding excess silt (mud) that is swpt somewhere else only with extraorinary rain events. I have lived in many developing countries where construction runpp has contributed to aquatic death of rivers
