Last Thursday, picked up a block about 3-feet long, 1-foot wide, and 6" thick.

Don't know. <br /><br />Saw a beaver upstream from damn in Ashland, yesterday... <br /><br />Enjoy!Mark Idehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02981497959737247009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303616362929302466.post-46800863500113103092009-09-26T07:52:50.147-04:002009-09-26T07:52:50.147-04:00Anonymous, Your concern is probably what resulted...Anonymous, Your concern is probably what resulted in the barge being cleaned up and helped prevent additional material from entering the river. Nice job!<br /><br />Hopefully some of the styrofoam will be intercepted on its way downriver.<br /><br />Where do you launch from when paddling this stretch of the Sudbury River?Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10069551145364947240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303616362929302466.post-90770938538048530892009-09-25T16:03:02.850-04:002009-09-25T16:03:02.850-04:00I paddled back up yesterday to check.

No kidding.<br /><br />Unfortunately all that blew into the river is on its way to sea, eventually. And, it was still beautiful out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303616362929302466.post-90293278396668871792009-09-24T13:47:06.433-04:002009-09-24T13:47:06.433-04:00Anonymous, Thanks for the 'heads up' abou...Anonymous, Thanks for the 'heads up' about the construction debris entering the river. Glad you notified MADEP. Hopefully they will get in touch with the bridge contractor and the material can be recovered before it goes too far downstream.<br />If you receive a response from your email, please share it.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10069551145364947240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303616362929302466.post-75988107609345923452009-09-24T10:18:12.705-04:002009-09-24T10:18:12.705-04:00Heads up - Major pollution happening in the Sudbur...Heads up - Major pollution happening in the Sudbury river right now. Yesterday, underneath the new rt 9 bridge in Framingham over the Sudbury river, the wind was blowing thousands of pieces of scrap styrofoam into the river. I drove by this morning and there was no clean up or prevention going on that I could see. <br /> <br />There's a open bardge under the bridge covered with more stuff that could be prevented from entering the river if immediate action is taken now. <br /> <br />I emailed the Mass EPA this same message just 2 mins ago. Thought you might like to know. Please keep up the good work. <br /><br />A Fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
