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.

Newest boom in place!
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.

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!
Update on the construction site on Summit Lake.
I followed up with OEPA stating what little they had done and today it appears the proper protection has been installed.
Construction site north of Summit Lake lacking mitigation to prevent the soils here from directly polluting the lake we are working so hard to clean up.
OEPA was notified Wednesday and responded yesterday that they would look into it. Rains today and tomorrow…the system works slow. Wouldn’t it be better if folks just did the right thing instead of waiting for someone to tell them?
