No new pics of the affected stretch from me personally, but here's a link to an update post from the RHA.

Does anyone know who's paying for the cleanup?

Hey all, I was out of the country for 5 days so sorry for not giving updates! I'm catching up on info, but right now the only new info I have is that the DEP has installed at least 5 rock dams to help catch the sediment. I passed a pump truck getting ready this morning, as well as several pickups and lots of workers. They seem to be working pretty hard on this! However, the dams they installed are "temporarily permanent" which worries me a little, I'm hoping it won't impact the brown trout spawn.

Hey all, just a quick update for ya! I recently found out that the clean up of the river is being done by a contractor hired by the Quarry, and they're paying for it, so it's good to see them taking responsibility for their actions. Dams are still in the water catching sediment, crews are there pretty much every day pumping stuff out, clean up is definitely not close to being done but its moving along.
