# Hold That Silt 33.627

CCC units deter soil erosion in the Los Padres National Forest and build check dams above the Santa Barbara, Calif., reservoir. Reel 1 shows forest scenery, panoramic views of the city, mission buildings, a water filtration plant, and the city's reservoir. A fire rages through the forest in 1933. Rain water washes silt from the denuded slopes into the reservoir. CCC members sow mustard grass on the slopes. Reel 2, check dams are constructed above the reservoir to catch the silt. Excavations are dug and dynamited, steel forms are erected, and concrete is mixed and poured. National Archives Identifier: 7428 Local Identifier: 33.627 Creator(s): Department of Agriculture.
