This is is 1 ton of crumb rubber. Each MCPS football field requires 120 of these bags. More crumb rubber must be added each year as the little crumbs wash off the field and go home with players. |
Observer: Booster Club beings plans for turf field installation
Remember that at Wootton High School taxpayers were tricked into believing that the "Booster Club" would be paying the balance on the cost of installation of plastic grass. That didn't happen. The Board of Education had no trouble at all throwing $205,178 into the project when the "Booster Club" fundraising fell short! Mold at your school? Sorry, the priority funding in MCPS is for artificial turf football fields, your mold issues can wait 10 or 15 years for funding!
Here's a delivery of tons and tons (each bag is 1 ton) of crumb rubber. A pile of crumb rubber was dumped in the parking lot. |
Here's where the crumb rubber ends up. It runs off into streams and storm water. But, Montgomery County is "green" so this is OK with our elected officials. |
