Blockages in Little Mill Creek Reported to NCC Parks

 

 there is a serious blockage at the S curve by the West Bridge.

 

 East BrooklandAve.

We would have liked to summated a more detailed map / report of blockages and other deficiencies in the Little Mill Creek basin through NCC Woodland Run Parkland .

Both Pam & myself have had Multiple Blockages  in the Little Mill Creek basin reported to us .

I do know more then a dozen trees fell due to wing & lightning strikes in the 9/10 Jan storm in the wooded section on the West Bank in the 300 blocks of Brookland Terrace .

- Behind the 1100 Block of Wagoner Dr there was a large trunk that fell in the  9/10 Jan storm that blocked access to the NCC SewereRight of Way & For grass cutting of the Right of Way for maintaining access . This downed trunk very well might be in the creek causing on of the blockages .

- Also Behind the 1100 Block of Wagoner Dr there was a tree fallen in the storm water ditch . This downed trunk very well might be in the creek causing on of the blockages . 

- There is the tree fallen across the Little Mill Creek at East Brookland that had been previously reported in 2023 .

 

- Also As a result of the  9/10 Jan storm multiple other trees fell near &  into the creek through out Little Mill Creek basin .

- We have observed increased insedences of water over the banks with some flooding at the 1” of rain mark that  would indicate a reduction of flow of the creek .

While this blockages & other deficiencies are not as bad as the flow rate due to blockages back  in 2020 , where 1” of rain would have the entirety of NCC Woodland Run park flooded with water running onto many of the adjacent residents parcels , it is obvious that we are progressing towords a greater frequency of serious incidences .  

We will strive to get a more detailed deficiencies  survey map of blockages & other deficiencies in the Little Mill Creek basin through NCC Woodland Run Parkland  Ahead of our Park Clean Up April 20th 2024 9AM Saturday . 

Your attention in these matters are much appreciated  .
