The National Park Service (NPS) has decided that a collection of trees, limbs and other debris that have collected on a sand bar south of the PA Darbytown Fishing Access is a natural formation and will not be removed. Superintendent Chris Heister was asked for a ruling about the debris by the Upper Delaware Council and delivered a two-page opinion, following an NPS inspection of the debris, which rangers termed “LWD,” large woody debris. Council members expressed concern that the debris might create a navigation hazard for boaters or an attractive nuisance, which could prompt injuries. For now, “There is lots of room to get around it… and with the first high water, it will be gone,” Heister said.
