[Awclist] Debris at Cochiti Log Boom

[Mary Scofield]

Dear Boaters, [Mary- please send to AWC]

Cochiti Lake rangers reported this morning that the first debris flow of 
the season has piled up behind the Cochiti Lake log boom.  There is 
about 2 acres of mostly small to moderate sized debris containing some 
larger tree stumps, logs, tires, etc.  There was also an unknown, but 
fairly significant amount of debris visible upstream in the river.
Photos and a video have been posted to the Cochiti lake Facebook page:

(you do not need a Facebook account to see the photos).

As of noon today the debris mat had been blown upstream. Although no 
longer piled up at the log boom, the debris poses a hazard to boats in 
the upper part of Cochiti Lake. We expect the debris field to move 
around and its location at any given time is unpredictable. Please use 
due caution on the river.
