Happy New Year!
Wolf Creek boom in Norton broke away, a result of high water. Booms are designed to do just this so as not to cause flooding issues. We will get it reattached when the water comes down and it is safe.

Cleaned out the trash boom on the canal south of Summit Lake and then a lap around the lake proper.
49 pounds of trash in 4 bags isn’t too bad for a 40 degree day in winter and this view was my reward!
A little bit of cleanup left over from yesterday.
4 bags about 80 pounds. These locations keep trash from making it into the Tuscarawas River.
Monday rounds before the rains.
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.
Riverkeepers Ohio has gone International!
Michaela, my Cousin here from Germany, spent some time this weekend checking and cleaning booms. 3 bags of trash and another 60 pounds or should it be 27.22 kilograms, out of the waterways!

Bag of trash and passed the grasses on down stream. Ready for the rain! Using that rake you gifted Julie Ann Sweet-Buntin!
