Great things happen at Ward 9 meetings!
Great things happen at Ward 9 meetings! Last night #RiverkeepersOhio was gifted this extendable rake for our work by Julie Ann Sweet-Buntin! Thank You!!

Thank You Summit Metro Parks for the coordination here just north of the Wilbeth trailhead. Dave and I will be out cleaning if you care to cruise by. Going to trying something new in our bag of tricks for this one.
This is a 5 minute video showing the process of building and installing a boom. We anticipate a pretty good volume of trash collected here and very grateful to Julie Miller and her husband for giving access to this location and the City of Norton who will be picking up our collected trash!
This is one of the MAJOR sources of trash coming into Summit Lake. I was out surveying outfalls from my kayak today. We already have two booms on the lake and with some collaboration, we should be deploying a few more on and around the lake soon. Did pull a bag of trash today.
Looks like the word made it to the folks working here. Some barriers have been put in place. Even with a soft voice, we can have impact.
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?
