[env-trinity] Fwd: logs in river

[Emilia Berol]

Thank you for this response, Bob. I wish that if the folks at SPI are to continue with their relentless assaults on our watersheds, that they would be open to learning a new approach, & not be as heavy handed as 
they generally are. 
Are any of the agencies involved with the restoration of the Trinity River --TRRP, RCD, others-- having serious conversation with SPI about what they doing? What kind of impacts are being shown ? who is monitoring ? 

I appreciate the responses I received from numerous people on my comment. Let's keep talking, there is much to be learned from current weather events.

An over-flight of the area is truly an eye opener.

>> Watching the Trinity from our spot between Camp Kimtu and the mouth of Willow Creek, I am amazed not only by the volume and velocity of the river today, but by the amount of logs and debris coming down the river ...  I haven't seen this many logs in the river since the 70's.... maybe not even then.  It has been a constant stream of all sizes of debris, all day. They look like schools of sharks and sea serpents floating down the currents. Neighbors sitting out on benches today say it's been like watching a parade.
