Mud Run


Had to pull out “the guns” for 253 pounds of trash this morning that made it downstream on Mud Run when our booms blew out from the flooding. (We repaired them yesterday).
We do have some fun and really appreciate the waves and words of encouragement from folks passing by. Tomorrow at 8 am, we will be on Summit Lake around the Nature Center adding secondary booms there. (Too much trash coming through the storm sewers on heavy rain events). A big Thank You to Summit Metro…

Some old men meet up for coffee in the morning, some go fishing or take in a walk…
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.

Dave and I had planned on cleaning the boom at Mud Run this morning…
Dave and I had planned on cleaning the boom at Mud Run this morning and the rain started so I took advantage of that and came down to check the booms on Summit Lake and this is the result of that.

With the expected weather, we wanted to clear and check the boom on Mud Run
We appreciate the efforts of Akron Services Department in clearing access to the site! Close to 100 pounds today and well over a ton so far at this site has been removed. We will be deploying another boom on Summit Lake this Monday morning at the end of IRA Ave. If anyone is interested in…


Sunday Funday on Mud Run with Dave and Wendy.
I blame our conversation on the water!. We cleaned booms, 6 bags here 1 from Summit, did some boom maintenance and discussed new booms to install.

Akron crew clearing a debris jam just upstream from our boom. Thank You!
This will help in our efforts at this location! BTW #RiverkeepersOhio will be here Sunday doing some work on the booms and cleaning out trash. #bagoftrashaday
