8th Annual Phalen Lake beach cleanup                                                           

Beach House @ 1400 Phalen Drive

St. Paul, MN

 

 Saturday morning, May 26, 2018 - Only one Day!

We have two areas around the lake that need underwater clean-up this year.

 

Lake Phalen Lake Beach House – 9:00 AM (Check in) to 2:00 PM

Team 1 - Go over logistics and pair up divers and non-divers (beach area)

                 for shallow water and deep underwater clean-up zones.

Team 2 - Locate underwater anchor pins & chains, connect them to the floating mooring ball (20-23’deep)

 

12:00pm -- lunch

 

1:00pm -- proceed to second clean-up area location at 1530 Phalen Drive (Phalen Lakeside Activities Center north of the Beach House). This area should only take one hour.

 

3:00pm -- head home                                               

 

 

The surface water should be about 60 degrees; 23 feet below the surface it is usually around 52 degrees.         Visibility varies from 6 to 12 feet.

 

Divers from BSA Scuba Venture Crew 820 will team up with divers from the Great Lakes Shipwreck     Preservation Society (GLSPS) in the cleanup. We do need additional volunteers to serve as shore support.

 

Divers will find a lot of glass, pop cans, and other unusual items in the water. We will also assist the City of         St. Paul by locating the existing mooring anchor chains for the floating swim platform, attaching the mooring  anchor chains to large floats on the surface so the cities life guards can finish connecting them to the swim raft. 

        

At the Lakeside Activities Center, we will be cleaning debris underwater from shore to about 12 feet of water.      A lot of junk thrown from the promenade deck needs to be removed from the lake bottom.

                                                                                    

To register, we need your name, age, phone number, height, weight, and shoe size.           

Sign-up cutoff date is Friday, May 11th.    

 

This is a free event. Tank of air and lunch provided by BSA Venture Crew 820.
