Mud Run never disappoints!
135 pounds today! I am in the water at this boom but one does not have to get in the water when cleaning a boom, the trash is directed to you on the shore. I get in sometimes to get things out of the muck and here because I want to go up and downstream…
This past weekend, Kat, Johnny and myself were hard at it working at Lock 14, Cordova Project and Mud Run.
We managed to prevent a couple hundred pounds of trash from making its way into the Tuscarawas and Little Cuyahoga and spent time removing invasive phragmites from Cordova and training Kat on some power tools!

Had to pull out “the guns” for 253 pounds of trash this morning that made it downstream on Mud Run when our booms blew out from the flooding. (We repaired them yesterday).
We do have some fun and really appreciate the waves and words of encouragement from folks passing by. Tomorrow at 8 am, we will be on Summit Lake around the Nature Center adding secondary booms there. (Too much trash coming through the storm sewers on heavy rain events). A big Thank You to Summit Metro…
