Personal Experience 2

Note The Bare Ground With Erosion Control

Less than three months ago, I did a story, Personal Experience  pertaining to all the mud runoff from the Cook Brothers Development on Beals Chapel Road on the back nine of the old Cedar Hills golf course, The Grove At Cedar Hills.  Three months later, it's gotten worse.

With just three quarters of an inch of rain, the red clay mud leaving the development is unbelievable.  Of course, every drop of it ends up in the Tennessee River after it floods out on all the property owners down stream from the development.

At our next county commission meeting, I intend to discuss what the commission can do with a developer who has just thumbed his nose at county officials and state officials. Surely, some kind of a large monetary penalty or a stop work order might get their attention. Who knows.

There's just something wrong when a developer can cause this much havoc in a community without without being held responsible.

Here's another great example of the negative impact these kind of developments bring. And if anyone hears that Cook Brothers Development is going to break ground in their area, all I can tell you, from personal experience is, I sure hope you don't end up with a the mud hole mess like we've got.
