Sean Blake suggested we go check out the dried up pool just south of the Nature Center off the towpath. 5 tires/wheels (dang those things were heavy!) and a couple bags of trash. Scariest part of the day, almost didn’t make it back home for Browns kickoff!!!
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.
Spent some time collecting at Mud Run (3 bags 39 pounds), Wolf Creek (1 bag 8 pounds) and new boom off of Cordova (5 bags 59 pounds).
Thank You, Kayandisu for stopping with your children and sharing some time. Riverkeepers Ohio is about getting our future generations involved in keeping our waterways clean.
Nobel Oil dumped 1000 gallons of used motor oil into the Tuscrawaras River when transferring from their tanker truck into a railcar at the P-C Sales transfer station in Barberton and the resulting #disasteronthetuscarawas polluted the environment for miles, killing countless wildlife and affecting many more. We monitored the cleanup for the next 11 weeks…
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?
