DAPHNE, Ala.—Daphne’s environmental programs manager Ashley Campbell at a planning commission site review Wednesday discussed stream restoration projects that would help correct the troubled D’Olive Bay/Lake Forest Watershed.

The plan will focus on fixing erosion sites in eight locations near Madison Place subdivision, Yancey Branch and Tiawasee and D’Olive creeks.

“We’re about to lose a big tree and it’s moving up to Madison Place Drive,” Campbell said.

She added that an exposed sewer line close to Tiawasee Creek could present health hazards.

“The line can be compromised and there can be a sewage spill,” she said.

The impacts of erosion and sedimentation in the watershed have long been a concern for environmental officials.
