Keep Norris Blue
The work on this project is now complete!
Another 8,000 lbs. of trash and 11,440 lbs. of scrap metal out has been removed from Norris Lake!
A big thank you to all of our great supporters (GoFundMe and others) who financially enabled us to completely remove (2) abandoned houseboats located on the Norris shorelines across from Hickory Star Marina. We would also thank Norris Lake Litter Gitter and Jacksboro Metals for both the labor and donations that significantly added to this work.
All waste was hauled across the lake to the Hickory Star Marina parking lot and loaded in a 30 yd. dumpster. The waste material didn't fill the 30 yd. dumpster so the NLPA/Litter Gitter crew took the opportunity to locate and haul Styrofoam from the islands to fill it to the rim.
All salvaged steel was hauled across the lake and piled in the Hickory Star Marina parking lot where it was loaded and hauled by Jacksboro Metals.
These pictures show the empty sites of the abandoned boats and the additional trash that was removed from Norris Lake.
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to those who contributed to our GoFundMe
Contributions helped address the additional materials, tools, and fuel needed to remove the boats. Other equipment and tools were provided by the three volunteers who diligently worked on this project.
