I didn't think it was possible to meet someone who knew more about silt than myself. I take great pride in my silt knowledge, but to be bested like that is certianly humbling.

thanks man. Thats good stuff.
Driving on beach....LOL.

Nice pictures RI rockhound. Looking forward to "ACTION PICTURES" with sediment and water coming out of the pipe!

BI Jeff. AKA Siltman!!!!

A view from the west... Steve McCandless for scale.. we were out taking beach volume measurements, at the site (we have weekly data from that site dating to Oct 1977, so we know a thing or two about that site)
You can see the beach either side of the pipe is fairly unchanged by the discharge...
Check the Chariho paper thursday, we may be on the front page, a photographer was there taking pics when we got there

Standing on the pipe looking towards the water..
There is scour around the pipe outlet ~6-7m wide and 1.2m deep...
This will not be permanant, and should fill in quickly when the pump is turned off... The water is TR#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&G out of the pipe.. I dont know velocity/pressure, but I do know that given the size of the sediment and the water depth the water below the pipe flowing down the beachface is going ~1.2m/sec...

Overhead view from the house behind... shh I was trespassing...

Silt porn :bounce:

Standing in the water looking at the beach....
Not the scarp and plume of water (scroll up and look at the fitting on the end of the pipe...)
Where I was standing was ~2ft deep and tough to stand in given the water coming down the beach coupled with the waves....

I thought I saw Jesus in the plume.. maybe I should sell this on ebay... it's either Jesus or that slime stuff from ghost busters

And BI Jeff... this is sand, not silt... there is a difference... :D if you want silt we'll have to talk about my work in Greenwich Bay

Bested again :smash:

Jesus in the plume? :D
If someone can sell grilled cheese with him on it, why cant I sell a pic of it right :smash: :D
Back to work....

Thanks Rock

Gotta be Bass in the tailend of the outflow....just gotta be a couple of Big Girls hangin' around.

Nah, no bait, just sand and water.. maybe a few trashed q-hogs...

Nice action shots RIRock. Thanks for keeping us informed.
