Cooper Creek Rock Harvesting / Strip Mine
Location: Approx 40-50 feet from Cooper Creek Paddle-In to the gorge.
Photos taken:
This site currently is not in use: No silt fencing is between the work and the creek so all the run off going directly
to the creek. No reclamation was done after crews finished working on this site. Like many other sites tons of
perfectly sized landscape and dimension stone was left behind. All the trees that were cut to all the site to be
stripped were piled just above the creek to create the main access road for this location. Once trees begin to rot
run off will increase drastically without significant reclamation.
