Dr. Ben Arnold: On tree debris and gravel harvesting Tree debris, he says, she related to cutting trees in the flood plain and and just leaving the tops. Thinks some gravel bars should be left, others harvested, to create the deeper holes for bigger fish, swimming. Click on headline for complete essay By Ben Arnold Mark Hale and Mitzi Bault make good comments about Russell Creek which can be applied to many other streams as well. There are two separate or maybe related problems, the tree tops and the gravel. The tree debris I believe is heavily related to cutting trees in the flood plain and just leaving the tops. This happened to me a fews years back when trees around the area of the youth prison were cut. The tree tops floated down to me for a few years during the spring rains. I prefer 'love your neighbors down stream' over regulations but at least some public information might help. The tree tops continue on down the creeks to repeat the problem, so the original neglect lingers and effects many neighbors down stream. Whether the tree tops accelerate the gravel problem I don't know but nature does fill in deep holes and shift gravel. I am lover of nature and prefer to not disturb much, but in this case I think Mark's suggestion is warranted. > Without deeper holes, larger fish can't survive and the whole ecology changes. We can leave some gravel bars and still harvest gravel from selected locations. Thank you Mark and Mitzi for bring this up for discussion. --Ben Arnold Comments re photo 59506 A recurrent maintenance problem Debris under KY 206 Bridge This story was posted on 2015-04-03 15:39:18
