Millville Lake Shoreline Cleanup
April 20, 2019 - The MLPA is contracting with Rocky Morrison at the Clean River Project again this spring in an effort to clean up some of the winter debris and loose stumps along the water's edge. The plan that Rocky has proposed is to have his team walk the entire perimeter of the lake before the water level goes back up (May 1st). His team will be picking up all the loose winter damaged limbs and other materials/trash. Those limbs and other trash will be put in piles and then transported to the area of the Millville Lake dam. Once the water level comes back up they will float all the larger limbs, logs and loose stumps to the same staging area at the dam.
Also, after the water level reaches its summer level, they will clean the island on the lake, removing all debris and transporting that to the dam area.
They will be asking Municipal Services Director Roy Sorenson for the use of a fork lift to temporarily move one of the Jersey barriers so that the Clean River Project trailer can be moved next to the debris pile and loaded onto the trailer for complete disposal off site.
We are looking forward to having Rocky and his crew to again add to the quality of our lake.
UPDATE: Here's some photos of the shoreline cleanup.
