Terry Gardner (Emergency Response Project Manager with GrayMar Environmental Services) reports significant accumulations of woody debris along the Laramie River between the confluence with Chugwater Creek and Grayrocks Reservoir. He recommends forming a dedicated Strike Team to clear loose branches, driftwood, wrack deposits, and anthropogenic debris from the riverbank and adjacent shallows. According to Mr. Gardner, this proactive debris‑removal effort would reduce the volume of material likely to become oiled, enhance the effectiveness of booming operations, and provide safer access for subsequent recovery operations. This is a Drill!
