Hungerford-Stoneridge turtle relocation and construction

From Gae Kosarek, City of Rockville:

Hello again,

I’m pleased to report that our efforts were successful and our volunteers from MATTS were able to relocate 77 turtles!

Unfortunately, with the lowering of the water level, all of the existing organic matter, and the decaying remains of the fish which were unable to be removed, there will be a bit of an odor from the facility for what we expect will be a short period of time.  We apologize in advance for this.  It is one of the challenges of the project that is difficult to manage.  Please feel free to steer any concerned residents in my direction and/or forward this message through your distribution channels.

It would also be helpful if you could pass along the word that we are advising any curious residents against wandering into the drained area of the facility.  The boundary between firmish ground and that which will suck the shoes right off of your feet is very sudden.

Thanks again for your community’s support and understanding of this project!

Best,

-Gabe
