Airport officials have confirmed a breach was made the south end of their construction site after Thursday's heavy rains. Neighbors believe that breach turned their nearby creeks into muddy waters.

Pictures from high above West Bay show just how much sand, silt, and debris is dumping into Burnt Mill Creek.

Parts of the creek turned a muddy red color instead of its normal "sweet tea" color.

"This is how it's supposed to look after four inches of rain. Folks will still be able to see it. You can see your hand down here in it. That over there, you can't put it under the water and you can't see it anywhere," Charles Hansen, a Burnt Mill Creek resident said.

These are pictures from high above the airport site. For several months, the site has been dealing with drainage issues.

The St. Andrews Bay Resource Management Association blames the airport's drainage project as the contributing factor to all the mud. The group was out taking water samples Friday.

"RMA's goal is to help protect St. Andrews Bay and the water shed and I would like the people to know that their voices need to be heard. They need to ask whoever is responsible to stop this immediately," Patrice Couch, Director of St. Andrews Bay RMA said.

Airport officials tell us just about every creek and bayou was muddy Friday because of the heavy downpours.

They say blaming them for the mess, without all the facts, is irresponsible.

"We work very closely with DEP and with the Army Corps of Engineers. So they are watching everything we do very closely. We're trying to do our best to adhere to the guidelines of our permits," Amy Ausley, an airport spokesperson said.

The airport does have someone from DEP on site, pretty much all the time. For months, the airport has been working on la state of the art drainage system. We're told it should be online by March...

They hope then to have all the drainage problems cleared up.

The St. Andrews Bay RMA will be discussing this very topic at Gulf Coast Community College on February 18 at 6:30 p.m. For more information, just log onto http://www.sabrma.org/.
