Leave No Trace Plan

LNT plan for The Watch involves several design and maintenance elements.  NOTHING WILL BE LEFT ON THE PLAYA!

Design Elements
  • There will be no loose pieces
  • No drilling or woodcutting will be necessary on the playa
  • Surfaces will not be treated with finishing materials that crack & flake
Ongoing Maintenance
  • The Watch and the vicinity around it will be cleaned of any MOOP on a daily basis
  • The Watch will be checked daily for any damaged elements that could become MOOP
Teardown and Cleanup
  • Before burning the piece, electronic & plastic elements will be removed
  • After the burn, all remaining elements will be collected in contractor bags & 5 gallon buckets. Brass will be collected separately for recycling.
  • After the burn, a magnetic rake will be used to pick up all metallic elements
  • After the burn, the pyre and surrounding area will be gridded and de-MOOPed by the crew
