Sediment tracking from Tri-North site on State St.

This contractor touts itself as the Green Building Leader.  "It's so easy being green," they say. 

We wonder why it was so hard to avoid tracking sediment out of their site.  Sediment is scattered all around the busy State Street downtown area, including N. Henry and N. Broom streets  Sweeping wasn't done after work.

In fairness, we might acknowledge that Tri-north traffic passes through the Rawson site on the way out.  But since the Rawson site isn't in compliance with gravel pads or sweeping, this puts Tri-North out of compliance.  Some of that sediment downtown is Tri-North's, no matter how you cut it.

This site is the Elizabeth Link Peace Park redevelopment, between State Street and W. Gillman.

The gravel pad at this site is clearly too short, and barely visible in the soil, which will turn to mud with the next rain.
