Thank you Stephanie for the gift card and thank you mystery person for the new chest waders and two boxes of always needed trash bags! During the last video I found that my waders were starting to leak and this came in at a perfect time. As you can see in the pictures, there’s lots…
Mother Nature had been fighting us this winter with high water, ice, debris. Thanks to Julie Miller for granting access to this section of the creek. And, thank you to Norton Service Dept and Larry Hess for picking up our collected trash. These are two of our biggest hurdles to putting booms in. Permission for…
102 pounds in 4 bags. Thanks again to the Service Team at the City of Akron for picking up what we collect! With the weather warming, we will get to service some of the other booms soon and start deploying new ones in the near future. Not just the same old places.

What we are seeing here is the residual. Fire department placed the soft booms with our trash booms to collect that. (Some placement adjustment is in order and being handled). Sorry for the late update, flu had knocked me on my can.

OEPA has been on site and taking action with containment and investigation of the source. Excellent work by both the OEPA and City of Akron for their quick response and action.
OEPA did visit this boom today. We have not heard what this is exactly. When we know, we will share. Did get about 30 pounds of trash out.
