Creek Gravel and the government Would some county roads be more economically maintained creek gravel? Creek gravel is the surface of necessity for many without funds - and also by the monied country gentry who prefer the many advantages of living on a country lane which looks like a country lane. Click on headline for complete commentary with photo(s) By Ed Waggener Some folks like the comforting site of creek gravel for country homes and church yards. But finding it has been a problem. Some 10 years back, I wanted a few loads for a parking lot, but was told the nearest place to buy was south of Scottsville, KY, for a gravel pit which had quite an operation. I finally settled for limestone, because of the time for a trip to Scottsville and because the expense for transport seemed to much. The word I got at the time was was that the government would allow it harvesting gravel from streams. This past week, I've been told that the rule is that the equipment can't get in the stream. The wisdom was that a Trackhoe, positioned out of the stream on a bank, could harvest gravel legally. Does anybody have the answer? Yesterday, with water running over the "Dry Bridge" on Crooked Creek on the former Crooked Creek Road, now Mt. Tussell Road, it appeared that the overflow over the crossing was caused by build up of gravel both up and downstream of the structure. Mr. David Abell, the owner of property on both sides of the creek, said he would like to see the gravel bars removed. Would some county roads be more economically maintained creek gravel? Creek gravel is the surface of necessity for many without funds - and also by the monied country gentry who prefer the many advantages of living on a country lane which looks like a country lane.
