Though we had severe storms the day before, there was no standing or running water at the entrance. However, there was a lot of mud and dust. The workers, who wouldn't identify themselves, said the red mud on the roadway was just "dust" and that they sweep it up every evening.

Neither man would tell me who they were. One said the owner is John Birmingham, though I'm not clear if that's the property owner or the project owner. One man said he was a Certified Mecklenburg Erosion Control Inspector, but he would not tell me who is supervisor is or what his name is.

UPDATE 6/14/10

Submitted by rhibowman on Mon, 06/14/2010 - 1:12pm.

Jeff Bock, from the City of Charlotte, called today. He said this site is known as the "Birmingham" site and that Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities is using it as a waste site. They are excavating a new water reservoir behind the Franklin Water Treatment plant, on Brookshire Boulevard (NC Hwy 16), and dumping the dirt at this site.

Jeff said to contact him anytime I see that the site is in violation. He said that even if I only see a violation at the entryway, when he goes out he'll inspect the entire site.

Jeff can be reached at 704-560-9798 or jbock@ci.charlotte.nc.us
