Chattanooga Creek is now home to a litter boom, a floating trash collection device installed Tuesday near the Wheland trailhead of the Tennessee Riverwalk. "We have 180,000 residents in addition to all those visitors and tourists who come through, which, as you can imagine, can lead to ... a lot of litter," Maria Price, engineering manager for the stormwater division of the city of Chattanooga's Department of Public Works, said at the ribbon-cutting for the litter boom. Stormwater eventually carries the litter into waterways, she said.
