Creek clean up is often coordinated by the DNR through the Adopt a River
Program (similar to the highway program where various groups take sections
and get signs put up in their names). I know some of the Creek has been
adopted but that not all of it has been. Also, the dam has not been open
since September 28, 1999 and any water you have seen this year is either
ground water flow or street storm sewer run off.
