Sweep

WaterbodySweep


In honor of Mr. Joe Tindal the Waterbody Sweep will be dedicated to him. Mr. Tindal treated my brother and I like his own two sons. I love you Mr. Joe. Thanks for all the memories.



Get your boats and trash bags out on the water and cleanup the trash and debris in your Waterbody such as Lake Marion, Lake Moultrie, and The Santee River.

The Santee RIVERKEEPER® Alliance proudly announces the 2nd Annual Santee Riverkeeper Sweep. This sweep targets all Waterbodys located in the Calhoun, Clarendon, Berkeley, Orangeburg, and Sumter Counties. These Waterbodys include lakes, rivers, streams, sloughs, ponds and any other Waterbody that requires some rejuvenation. The sweep effort also includes any trash and debris removal that have washed upon the shores.
Who: All Waterbody Lovers
What: Waterbody Sweep
When: May 22, 2010
Where: Any lake, river, stream, slough, canal, pond beach puddle that needs trash and debris removal within Clarendon, Orangeburg, Sumter, Berkeley and Calhoun Counties.
Why: To clean up the water. Each piece of trash and debris removed from each Waterbody is one step closer to better water quality.
