Description
The surface of the Western most tennis courts are being scrapped off and dumped in the wood instead of being properly disposed of. This material contains adhesives and paints. I could only post one picture but there is mounds of the material in a footpath between some trees on the South end of the courts as well.

County Parks staff has engaged the contractor to remove recently scraped surface material and dispose of it properly. Parks staff also informed the contractor of proper management practices and material disposal. EPD staff has verified that there are no current impacts to natural or water resources.
