Summit Lake
Met Bob along the east side of Summit Lake today and collected about 55 pounds of trash from the booms on that side following yesterday’s rain.
Will hit the west side tomorrow along with Mud Run and Wolf Creek! Thanks Summit Metro Parks for picking up my bags!
Sunday rains lead to some boom clean outs
About 100 pounds, at Summit Lake, Canal, Mud Run, Wolf Creek and wrapped up today with a new boom at Summit Lake! Bring on the Rain!
Site of our next boom!
Summit Lake, Kenmore side. 72” outfall that has been dumping storm sewer trash directly into the lake for decades. This STOPS next week! Thank you to the City of Akron, the Ohio & Erie Canal Way, South Street Ministries, Ward 9 Councilperson – Tina Boyes, Summit Metro Parks and all the people that support and…
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.
First rain in weeks yesterday and the results on two of the booms on the east side of Summit Lake…
36 pounds of bottles, cans, bags, styrofoam to name a few, all from storm sewers.
Getting ready to put in a boom up on the canal off Summit Lake
Canal Boom in place! 120 feet of trash catching magic deployed just south of Summit Lake that will help keep the lake cleaner. Thanks to Dave Stoler, Eric Fitch (thanks Pam for lending us your muscle) and Jerry Harris from Summit Metro Parks! (They help remove the trash we collect from some of our locations)….
We deployed two more booms on Summit Lake this morning and cleaned up around the dock by the Nature Center.
Has been a busy week but well worth it! Next project will be deploying a boom on the canal south of the lake…maybe this weekend!
