Gily River Cleanup 2010
Torres-Perez family - 3 Generations of volunteers

Workers at the new Cask Processing Enclosure at Oak Ridge have helped double the site’s Transuranic Waste Processing Center’s processing rates.
Please mark your calendars for our Spring Bread and Cheese Creek which will be are largest cleanup to date! These photos show the current sad condition of this historic stream. We plan to clean up Bread and Cheese Creek form the Berkshire section to North Point Road on Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM, All the assistance from volunteers and sponsor is greatly appreciated! We know this is a huge section of stream to tackle but I know we can do it!
This cleanup will be in conjunction with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay’s Project Clean Stream and it will be our fifth year working with them! This cleanup will also be in conjunction with American Rivers. We will supply trash bags, gloves, water, snacks and lunch. A limited supply of waders and tools will also be available for sign out during the cleanup.
Remember, there plenty of ways for volunteers to participate. We will need every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the Clean Up. Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters, we can use people to run water, food, tools, and trash bags (both empty and full) to individuals in the creek. People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to work the grills as well as many other less strenuous activities. We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and Service Learning Hours for students. The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone. Please feel free to pass this information on to other who might be interesting in helping as well. As my grandfather always said, "Many hands makes the work light". We run our cleanups as a family event with all age groups welcome by developing plenty of ways for volunteers to participate.
Our cleanups are part of an ongoing effort clean the entire stream by the 2014 bicentennial celebration of War of 1812 Bicentennial Celebration. (Bread and Cheese Creek has been noted as one of the highlighted location on the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail) The creek played a rather significant part in the Battle of North Point which took place on September 12, 1814. Both the American and British Troops camped along its banks. It is rumored that the young heroes Daniel Wells (19) and Henry McComas (18) used the stream channel to sneak up on British General Robert Ross killing him with their muskets before being killed in return fire. This important part of our history should not be left the eyesore it currently is and those who died defending our country honored in this way.

Ok so decomposition related clean-ups generally aren’t as extensive as in those related to violent deaths, but anyone who’s ever come across animal carcass in the woods or on the highway knows that a decomposing body can actually be more gruesome than a suicide. A body that’s been decomposing for days, weeks or even months has gone through some changes. You see, decomposition swells the body attracts insects, causes organs to digest themselves and actually liquefies skin. It is, to say the least, not pretty freakin’ sight, but most folks in my business will tell you that seeing decomposing remains doesn’t compare to smelling them [an unfortunate side effect of the ammonia gas released during decomposition]. Yeah, your local coroner will remove the body, but they always leave behind liquefied body matter, noxious odors, and maggots bloated by blood. That’s where companies like mine come in.

Any areas that the moisture detector found to be even slightly wet had to be replaced up to 2' for insurance reasons... This here's the scene of the crime. There was no real "overflow" in my bathroom - almost all of it went down the pipe hole from inside the toilet, so there was no way to know about the leak... however some "clean" water from the toilet inflow did backup from the bowl and drip onto the floor, which is where the wetness on this side came from. It's amazing what a huge job this is.
Due to poor installation (way back in 2005) my toilet overflowed recently, sending waste water from inside the toilet down the pipe into the ceiling and hallways adjacent to my suite. Let this be a lesson, boys and girls. Always have home insurance to cover the shoddy workmanship of others.

Workers attach crane cables to a huge manifold on the roof of the former Chemetco secondary copper smelter in Hartford, Illinois, as demolition of the buildings at the Superfund site began on Sept. 13. The facility operated from 1969 until 2001 when it went into bankruptcy and was sealed by the Illinois EPA as a result of hazardous materials left on site. It became a federal Superfund site in March 2010.
What happened was, we were exhibitors at this conference. There was a wine social. Someone dropped and broke a glass right next to our table. The workers who came out to clean up picked up some of the schwag off of our table and used it as a dustpan for sweeping up the broken glass.
Living Lands and Waters (LLW), an Illinois-based non-profit dedicated to cleaning up America’s rivers, spent nearly two weeks hosting volunteer clean-up days on the Delaware River. Held Aug. 20 through Sept. 2, the clean-up effort was sponsored in part by Philadelphia Water and resulted in the removal of over 35,000 pounds of trash. Here, volunteers from Philadelphia Water and the Delaware River Basin Commission join the LLW crew for a Sept. 1 clean-up just north of the Betsy Ross Bridge that netted 26 large bags of recyclable bottles and 17 30-gallon bags of non-recyclable trash.
