Iron precipitation over clayey sediments in the coastal plain, due to a perched condition. Â Zoom in for a closer look.
Below are pictures from the Sumner Dam deconstruction in Gulph Mills, PA. Â The dam was built in the mid 1800’s and was breached after a hurricane a few years ago. Â The dam is being removed and the floodplain returned to pre-dam conditions in order to prevent additional erosion and sediment loading to the Schuykill River which is just a short distance downstream. Â The broadening of the floodplain will also increase “storage” for future storm flows. Â Thanks for Steve Dadio for notifying PAPSS of the project and the great legacy sediment pictures!
