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…

I could smell it before I saw it…
OEPA has been on site and taking action with containment and investigation of the source. Excellent work by both the OEPA and City of Akron for their quick response and action.

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.

Moved the booms at Mud Run
Because moving water is ever changing, we need to adjust. Dave and I were talking after the move how full of trash this area was last year when we started this. Now, we almost always see fish and wildlife here. Does make us feel good.
