Tuscarora Creek Watershed Based Plan
Watershed Based Plan 3-31-2011Water Quality Workshops
On July 1, 2009, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection hosted workshops during which the DEP sought information from Eastern Panhandle residents to improve water quality in the Tuscarora Creek watershed. Read the Martinsburg Journal article, July 2, 2009.
On June 17, 2010, DEP again hosted a watershed
meeting during which
Alana Hartman, Potomac Basin Coordinator and Kristen Milkarek, Canaan
Valley Institue, presented a draft watershed based plan for the
Tuscarora Creek watershed
which includes Dry
Run.
Also discussed was a project proposal to request Clean Water
Act
Section 319 funds to fund part of the first few years of implementing
the
Watershed Based Plan. Both of these documents primarily address
two
pollutants, fecal coliform and sedimentation, from nonpoint sources
(that is,
sources from the landscape that do not have an official permit to
discharge). The public outreach for this effort was initiated at
meetings
last July 1st. Related Martinsburg Journal article, June
18, 2010.
