Here we are 7 years later and this is the reality. The Richard Montgomery HS artificial turf has been ripped up and 120 tons of ground up tires (crumb rubber) are being spread all over the school grounds, parking lot, roads and are going into our storm drains, ponds and creeks in the Cabin John Watershed.
All of the black dots you see in the pictures below are ground up tires (crumb rubber) used as the infill on the artificial turf field at RMHS. Each artificial turf field requires 120 tons of ground up tires. All pictures were taken in the last two days and after the recent rain storm.
