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.

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)….
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!
Probably our biggest challenge is getting access to locations that would be perfect for boom placement as so much is on private property. However, that doesn’t stop us from a plan B. We did get a bag of trash out of the booms on Summit Lake this morning following the rain event yesterday. We evaluate…
Pretty big source of trash there and we should be able to access it to cleanup with just a pair of muck boots. Thanks South Street Ministries for the interest and the assist! And thanks to Summit Metro Parks.
This boom will be located right in front of the Summit Metro Parks Nature Center at the end of Ira.
We hit the booms at Summit Lake and picked up a bag from the towpath. He earned his reward and shirt!!!
