| Hazards | Has been heavy earthmover fire upstream from collection site. Earth channel dug all around the heavy vehicle which is still on site. I don't know what escaped prior to management. Area cordoned off around earth mover. Fire caught extremely quickly, small area burned around it. Earthmover is stuffed. See photos. |
| Litter/Pollutants |
Large earthmover fire and equipment still on site just upstream from collection site. Earth channel dug around the equipment. Cordoned off. Don't know if anyone reported fuel or anything into creek. See photo. Unfortunately it turns out most of my waterwatch photos for this visit weren't saved.
