Environmental Board <br />November 19, 2014 <br />Page 2 <br />Mr. KC Kye was involved in helping clean up the Clearwater Creek neighborhood with <br />the help of Boy Scout Troop #494. The clean-up group removed 10 yds. of yard waste, <br />grass clippings, and brush that had been deposited by neighbors along the walking trail. <br />The Clearwater Creek neighborhood was given a handout when they bought their homes <br />about the nature areas. Some owners have planted or made screening to mark their <br />property which is great. May have to go back to the neighborhood and re-educate about <br />the proper way to dispose of yard waste. <br />B. Minnesota's 2012 National Lakes Assessment: National, State, and Ecoregion- <br />based Approach.

Recycling Updates <br />KC presented a recycling commercial that will be aired by North Metro and will be <br />showing at White Bear Lake Movie Theater. <br />October Recycling Saturday went very well. There were over 70 mattresses brought in <br />plus 1 ton of paper for shedding. About 130 cars came through the parking lot. <br />Received a grant for getting a sea container for collecting furniture for recycling. Hope <br />to have the container ready in December. <br />D.
