Silt is literally choking the life out of the rivers and the Chesapeake. Enough is enough for crying out loud.
As a riparian landowner on a Virginia State Scenic River, Goose Creek, this issue hits close to home and gets progressively worse every year.
How often does Fairfax City have to pump the silt from behind the dam on Goose Creek?.
Protecting the environment should be priority 1 for anyone disturbing the natural processes.
Those doing the damage on a large scale should be under the strictest regulations/monitoring.
