There was no report to the public from them, local politicos, OEPA, ODNR or anyone for that mater. That is until George Wright ventured down to the creek on Sept 10th (4 days after the event) for some fishing only to find all the fish dead. He contacted the local fire department along with OEPA…

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.
We spent the morning running through the booms with Chris of South Street Ministries and collecting 9 bags of trash and a TV at 143 pounds.
They will be assisting with cleaning out the booms going forward. Today was “training” with Chris so he can train his crews. Dave was here too but had to leave before pictures were taken!
