We deployed two more booms on Summit Lake this morning and cleaned up around the dock by the Nature Center.
Has been a busy week but well worth it! Next project will be deploying a boom on the canal south of the lake…maybe this weekend!
I followed up with OEPA stating what little they had done and today it appears the proper protection has been installed.
To my knowledge (I certainly could be wrong) this is a first. Mark Greer of the Akron Bicentennial Commission, Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition, Dan Rice and his Team, City of Akron and Riverkeepers Ohio have put together a plan that will truly leave the waterway cleaner when we are done than what is there…
I blame our conversation on the water!. We cleaned booms, 6 bags here 1 from Summit, did some boom maintenance and discussed new booms to install.
Ice to contend with here at Mud Run. Busted my butt on the way to the Canal boom (no video). 61 pounds. The flu had held me down the past week.
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.
This boom will be located right in front of the Summit Metro Parks Nature Center at the end of Ira.
