For the record, the "lake cleanup" that was scheduled for May 7th was part of the annual "Renew Our Rivers" campaign and had been scheduled long before the tornado struck Lake Martin. The decision was made to cancel that particular cleanup because it was not designed to handle debris of this magnitude and scope. The organizers did not want to risk injury to any of the volunteers. The Marine Police Division agreed to send out the news release announcing the cancellation through its media list. We did not "force" anyone to cancel that particular event or any other lake cleanup.

As for any plans to cleaning up the debris all I can say is that a plan is being formulated and as soon as possible the details will be released. For this weekend you can look for the remaining debris areas to be marked by Hazard Buoys and for signs warning boaters of the dangers to be placed at all public launching areas.

As always, common sense is encouraged and hoped for.
