Matthew Hasbrouck, of Ewing Township, recently spotted garbage and debris in the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed off Titus Mill Road in the Pennington section of Hopewell Township.
Laying in the riverbed was a large stove, multiple garage door panels and other household garbage.
Manpower alone was not enough to remove the trash. Due to the steep embankment and the swamp-like conditions below, he took it upon himself to use his knuckle boom crane to remove the pollutants from the water supply.
