So did Opa go to buy drain pipe for tomorrow’s boom or mum’s for the front garden? 🤣

Update is: There was a very large trash dam upstream just south of Wooster Rd. There was a large volume of oil in that dam but where that originated from is not known. In collaboration, the City of Akron, City of Barberton and the OEPA put in a hard boom downstream, crews entered the water…
Managed to pull a couple bags of trash out and plan for more in the morning. Some areas capturing more than others but all are doing the job. Encampments are still active and growing notifications have been sent again. The big wheels move slow, patience.
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!
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.
Will hit the west side tomorrow along with Mud Run and Wolf Creek! Thanks Summit Metro Parks for picking up my bags!
