Catoctin Park cuts fuel use while costs rise
Thomas N McFadden, superintendent, outlines a 40 percent drop in park fuel use over four years through staff behavior changes and building upgrades. He cites insulation, water heater reductions, weather stripping, and season shut downs, plus plans for solar charging, fireplaces, infrared heat loss checks, and potential foot patrols to save energy. The Amazon depth finding adds a note on the river’s 300 foot-plus depths along the 500 mile stretch.
