Spill worker with respirator hoses beach during Corexit apppllication test, Quayle Beach, Smith Island, Prince William Sound, August 8, 1989.
Ten people took time out on Saturday, December 5th, to clean up the Lafitte Corridor in the vicinity of the Sojourner Truth Community Center. Volunteers included two from the Sierra Club, three from Friends of Lafitte Corridor, and three from Tulane University. They dug out the sidewalk (a lot of work) and picked up roughly eight large bags of trash.
Special thanks to Criminal Sheriff of Orleans Parish Marlin Gusman and Major Jerrod Spinney (Community Service Coordinator) for getting the brush cleared away in advance of the cleanup.
Another cleanup is tentatively scheduled for spring 2010.

RIP, Little Canopy - Saturday the 13th of Oct 2013, a freak storm popped up, and shredded this canopy and tossed it up into the top of the pear trees. Took me quite awhile to remove it's poles and canvas tarp from the entangled tree limbs. But what was awesome, is the Pole Barn, or Shop/Storage Building did not even flinch an inch. It never moved, or strained in any way. It is now even stronger now that it's siding is anchored around 8" into the ground itself.

Pennsylvania Death Cleanup Services
A Pennsylvania apartment complex hired ABT after a tragic event left one of the units uninhabitable due to biohazards.
Despite the less than stellar weather, Stefani and I opted to make a two-night adventure out of the recent International Coastal Cleanup event. We spent our nights at Cape Alava in Olympic National Park. We had hoped if the weather turned wet and cold (it did) that we would be able to have a fire (fires are not allowed between Wedding Rocks and Yellow Banks along the north coast; Cape Alava is north of the Wedding Rocks). Unfortunately the beach had been picked clean and there was little to zero fuel for fire. So without a fire we would be.
Our hike out on Friday was amid showers. With camp established we set out to walk north. Upon return our rain gear gave up the ghost amid heavy showers and strong winds. Not the most fun way to end the evening.
Saturday dawned dry but required wearing of wet gear. Uncomfortable? Yes, but we warmed quickly once on the move. Our cleanup efforts were focused on a 1 to 1.5 mile stretch of coastline north of Cape Alava. With super-thick mats of kelp and seaweed lining the shores, we had our work cut out for us as we navigated the beach in search of debris.
As is typically the case during these cleanup events, the majority of what we found was plastic and styrofoam. Though there appeared less debris around Cape Alava, we quickly filled our five bags and set off to haul them back to the trailhead along 3 miles of boardwalk.
Back at the trailhead we were warmly greeted by other volunteers. Prior to making the hike back we stopped at the Lost Resort for refreshments and snacks. Back at camp, we were pleasantly surprised to discover the sunshine had dried out our tents! We made quick work of drying the remainder of our wet gear.
The evening was pleasant but with knowledge that a storm was on the way we didn't fool ourselves into thinking the dry spell would last. And last it didn't. Around midnight I awoke to the pitter-patter of rain on my tent fly. Four hours later I awoke to a cacophony of wind and waves. With high tide upon us the waves crashed hard and crashed loud. And the wind? I know not the mph force of that front that came in but I will admit I turned on my headlamp and watch wide-eyed at my tent overhead - half expecting the entirety of it to collapse. Thankfully the tent withstood the wind and the heavy rains that soon followed.
Sunday dawned wet and grew only more so. Wanting to waste little time we quickly packed and departed the coast. As you may recall, I recently had a very wet experience along the North Fork of the Skokomish River. Well, Sunday's hike out from Cape Alava was equally wet. Of particular note, were moments to minutes of torrential downpour. As all parts of self became drenched it felt a very coastal experience. I turned to Stefani. Her smile met mine. All we could do was laugh. Laugh and keep hiking.
