Beautiful Sunday morning walk along the towpath and around Summit Lake enjoying this nice weather checking booms.
We are starting to see some visible fruits of our labors with the booms.
these two old guys meet up on Mud Run to repair blown out booms and clean up a creek. Tomorrow I hear they are going to be down stream of here to get the trash from the blown out booms 😉. Still 6 bags of trash close to 100 pounds.
This will be a multi day event as there is still so much trash in these waters! Summit Metro Parks reached out to us on this one and we thank them for their assistance. I will throw a couple other pics in the comments too. This is all from just one storm sewer outfall from…
Wolf Creek boom in Norton broke away, a result of high water. Booms are designed to do just this so as not to cause flooding issues. We will get it reattached when the water comes down and it is safe.
This is a 5 minute video showing the process of building and installing a boom. We anticipate a pretty good volume of trash collected here and very grateful to Julie Miller and her husband for giving access to this location and the City of Norton who will be picking up our collected trash!
