My next door neighbor's boathouse burned completely down yesterday. It really sucks, they lost two boats and an entire boathouse. That was the extent to their property but we are in a very small house in a very small cove and prevailing winds/currents push everything into our cove and this was right on the edge. Our other neighbor says it is a real mess in our cove.
There are crews there salvaging and cleaning up but how do we know if it is all clean? If not where do we go to get it done properly? How much cleaning is legally required? I am jumping the gun a bit and will go there to see on Friday but want it done quickly.
There is soil, rip rap and a tiny bit of sand that I am worried about. We have a lot of turtles also which may be a good barometer for pollution?
In the second photo we are on the left side of the boom where all the scum is of course. Luckily I trailered the boat last weekend so we can use it but I am guessing nothing is going in or out of there this weekend. It is contained to our cove so it can't get out to the main lake. I have a feeling it is going to be really bad.
The cause was a lightning strike. Funny because that boathouse had two large lightning rods on it. They did a good job of attracting so that part worked.
