I attended an informative presentation last night at Duke Law School.

Dean Naujoks, Riverkeeper for the Upper Neuse, described an exciting new

project to improve the quality of water in North Carolina's waterways.

The number 1 source of water pollution today is sediment run-off from

construction projects. This is not just innocuous dirt. The runoff often

contains high concentrations of fecal material and heavy metals, and the

resulting pollution kills wildlife and can foul our precious drinking

water supplies. North Carolina has only about 30 full-time site

inspectors; there are more than 9,000 active construction sites at any

one time. 



The solution: train citizen volunteers who will visit construction

sites, inspect the runoff control measures, and report back to local

inspectors when they find apparent violations of best management

practices. The trainings start next week at the Brier Creek Community

Center in Raleigh, and continue for several months. For more

information, go to http://www.muddywaterwatch.org/



I posted this to the TPNA, OND, THNA, and FHNA lists. Please cross-post

this information to other lists (and on blogs!) as appropriate. Thanks!
