PARK HOPES TO HAVE NEW GRINDER STATION OPERATING SOON
A
nglers wishing to clean their fish after their catches this season will hopefully be able to do so soon, as Roaring River State Park staff are in the midst of building a new cleaning station in a new location. Joel Topham, Roaring River State Park manager, said the new facility, a grinder station is being built near Zone 3. “We broke ground on Dec. 21, 2020, and we are working on it as fast as we can,” he said. “In December, we ran the electric line to three transformers, and we’re hoping to have the water and sewer done by [early February].” The new grinder being installed, a Barracuda brand, will compost and shred fish remains, and the mulch will be piped through the park’s last lift station and into its lagoon field.
Cleaning Station Construction Ongoing Gerald Houston, of Cassville, cleans off one of his catches at the cleaning station in 2020.
