Muddy Water Watch Project
As our watershed continues to be developed at an alarming rate, the Haw and its tributaries are facing the negative impacts of sediment pollution. Increased development means an increase in construction stormwater runoff, which is the leading water pollution problem in the nation, according to a 2008 report from the E.P.A.
To protect our watershed from this pollution problem, we are re-launching our Muddy Water Watch project, partnering with county sediment and erosion control officials to document and report potential sediment violations. Our first training is in Chatham County!
July 18th, 2017
6:00-8:00 p.m.
Old Chatham Agricultural Auditorium
65 East St.
Pittsboro, NC.
Join Haw River Assembly and Chatham's Soil and Erosion Control team to learn how to identify sediment pollution and defend the water quality of the streams in our watershed. Participants will receive training on reporting potential sediment violations to county officials, and an information packet on local ordinances and regulations to protect our watershed.
