My most sincere thanks going out to the Woodbridge Potomac Community Civic Association, Porter Traditional School, Supervisor Frank Principi and the local community for an unbelievable clean up effort for Neabsco Creek. 56 people came out, pulled a shopping cart, at least a dozen tires, a car battery, and a half a construction-size dumpster worth of trash out of the creek and surrounding flood plain. The Prince William Clean Community Council, the PW Soil and Conservation District Adopt a Stream Coordinator Kelly Jimenez also joined the effort.
We had great success cleaning up the simple trash...what we could not clean included an old commercial refrigerator (buried), a truck axle (tires still attached), piles of construction debris, tons of logs and dead trees and a leaking oil boom.
