Re: Help Please Andy
The pictures have been sent and I've received a few responses. Since this spot is near one of the Union County Parks, I reached out to an official from the parks' commission. He was very helpful and contacted their environmental person. Unfortunately, things may have to wait until Earth Day before an organized effort gets underway through the town. Since all things flow downstream, he understood what I meant when I reminded him of how eventually this mess would affect the other county parks which are downstream.
I'm waiting to hear from the local "Patch" editor and from the Boy Scout Troop. The next contact will be the Rahway River Watershed Commission. There is a TU Chapter listed in Cranford as well. They will definitely get some pictures.
This (pardon the pun) bottleneck reminded me of the one you cleaned up on the Green Brook. I'm just concerned that when we get a drenching rain, that jam will cut loose and everything will infect another spot. I'll keep at it.
As for the additional miles of stocking, this spot is far upstream from there, but the litter collection spots get worse the farther downstream you go.
