Carol McCormick writes, “Today (Wednesday) was the first scoop of silt taken out of Trippe Lake! Hope to see many more!” When asked how long she had to watch to be sure to catch the first scoop, she responded, “My husband has an eagle eye!”

Trucks were also seen leaving Cravath Lake with sediment on Wednesday. Per the City, work is expected to continue twenty-four hours a day for the remainder of this week until Saturday at 7 p.m.

Our thanks to Carol McCormick for sharing another timely photo.
