SUMMARY:Birding at the Village Creek Drying Beds in north Arlington
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: The Village Creek Bird Walks are canceled until further notice. The city of Fort Worth\, the FW Water Department  and the Environmental Protection Agency have responded to an oil spill in early May.  A 16-inch crude oil pipeline ruptured\, releasing 2\,600 barrels of oil into a municipal sewer line that is part of Fort Worth’s wastewater system. The clean-up resulted in discharging the collected sludge waste at the Village Creek Drying Bed. The process to remove the waste is to let the sludge dry\, then dredge the waste and dispose of it properly. This is what the beds were used for before the more modern mechanical waste treatment plants were developed. The frequent rains that occurred in May and June has slowed the drying process. Hopefully the beds will be reopened to visitors and bird watchers after the oil waste product is safely removed.  \nJoin Jim Sipiora as he explores the Village Creek Drying Beds on the 2nd Wednesday of every month. The drying beds are located on Green Oaks Blvd. in north Arlington just west of the River Legacy Park entrance. Meet everyone at the Dunlop Sports Center parking lot at 1500 NW Green Oaks Blvd. The parking lot is located across the street from the gate to the drying beds facility. Walking is mostly on level gravel and paved roads\, with some excursions through tall grass. Bring insect repellent if it rained recently. \nStart times at the parking lot: \nOctober through May\, meet at 8:30 AM \nJune through September\, meet at 6:30 AM.
