Seeing how I'm repeating myself, this technology is not new. It's been around for years. The City fathers would rather turn a blind eye and save a couple of hundred grand so they waste it on things like the "drop" and $50K GIFTS to the Mobile Sports HOF. Now here's the part that got the original comment deleted by the pawns of the oppressors. Watch the immediate response from Scam's and Al's love child...Oh S**t...feel free to cut me again...I can copy and paste! For the third time.

Need to check with some of the power companies that have hydro-electric dams. They have trash booms, cranes, & rakes in place in front of the turbine intake structures to catch, collect, & divert trash away from their intakes. They operate 24/7 but have to be checked on a regular basis depending on the amount of rainfall. May get an idea of what you'd need to take care of the floating trash problem going in to the bay.

This is not just run off trash, this is some lazy jerk or jerks dumping their house hold garbage off upsteam. Egg cartons and milk jugs are not your typical run off trash. I have seen this crap from my boat. This has been going on for years and the ones that are doing it have not been caught.

Since pople are not going to stop dumping their trash, this would be money well spent. Just need to make sure to empty it on time.
