Showerthought: The difference a year of silt makes on a bridge piling

We did a survey on the same set of pilings under the I-10 bridge in Mobile last year and again last week. The before and after was wild, a whole foot of soft silt built up in just 12 months. It was like diving into a giant bowl of chocolate pudding, visibility went from 15 feet to about 6 inches in that layer. Anyone else had a job where the site changed way more than you expected between visits?

A whole foot in a year? That's crazy.

Sounds like someone's been hitting the miracle grow. Must be nice to have a personal growth spurt after age twelve. My plants barely survive a month, let alone gain a whole foot. Nature's playing favorites again.
