Rooty Branch pond water level has fallen 23 Apr 2015.jpg
The standing water level at the Rooty Branch Wetlands (aka Beaver
Pond) located on Thomas Creek at the intersection of Rooty Branch Rd.
and Pemberton Rd. in eastern Sullivan County, TN has disappeared. I saw
no apparent dig out of the beaver dam. However, a drainage ditch
well up the road in the field had been mechanically dug out. There
remains a possibility that flooding of the area during the weekend had
washed out some barrier area. The beavers usually rush to repair
damage to their dam. The permanent pond. fed by a spring near the
road, remains at full pool.
