A couple videos from YouTube Channel FBRiverKeeper, with descriptions and titles provided by him, showing some erosion issues around local development sites:

Erosion into Creek and Lake Louise

This site is dumping sediment into an unnamed tributary that flows into Lake Louise, a popular recreation area in Weaverville.

This is a clear turbidity violation and a violation of erosion control measures, because the site has not been maintained. Sediment is the largest polluter in the French Broad Watershed and the vast majority flow off new construction sites. Recent improvements have only marginally helped the problem.

Wal-Mart Pollution Into Stream

This Walmart site in Weaverville, NC and shows a lack of erosion control that is depositing massive sediment pollution into Gill Branch and an unnamed tributary of Gill Branch.
