Answered for Beech Grove, Marion County.
Very common here in wet springs, particularly on sycamore. One of the most over-treated problems in the trade. In Beech Grove, beech Grove is one of only 23 Indiana communities in the DNR's 2008 i-Tree STRATUM street tree sample inventory, and its numbers are extreme: of 1,699 inventoried street trees, silver maple was 33.1% — more than triple the 10%-per-species industry guideline — followed by Callery pear 11.5%, apple 10.1%, sugar maple 5.0% and littleleaf linden 5.0%. Those top-heavy silver maples on small lots are the recurring job here. Almost never fatal on an established tree.

Brown blotches along leaf veins, early leaf drop, sometimes twig dieback. Worst after a cool wet spring.
Almost never fatal on an established tree. It looks alarming, the tree defoliates, and then it leafs back out. Most calls about it don't need a treatment at all.
If treated at all, at bud break — but raking and binning fallen leaves does more than spraying.
