Friends of Little Rocky Run - Virtual Tour of Watershed, Page 11, The Deepwood Farms Tributary

The right side photo is probably the essence of what this small tributary looked like in its entirety before the Little Rocky Run neighborhood was built. The photo below shows a small pond built in the late 1990's.  The Deepwood Veterinary Clinic used to be in the cleared area on the far side of the pond.  Note the silt that is collecting in the pond despite erosion barriers.

Below is a downhill look at the total clearing done to make way for the new Deepwood Farms development.  The perspective is from the approximate spot where the old veterinary clinic stood.  The pond shown above is at the lower right, but not visible in this photo.

For the record, here is who did the site work and what the new development will be ironically named.  They probably didn't know they could get a tax credit for riparian buffer preservation. This tributary goes from here on to another stormwater pond, the berm of which is visible as a green mound in the back of the above picture.  After that, it goes underground.
