[Durham INC] Panel Discussion on Preserving Water Quality

[Pat]

This is not exactly neighborhood event, but I thought enough folks are concerned about water quality to be worth posting.  
it is next Thursday (2/13) evening at the Southern Regional library,
More information, and the ability to register, it at: http://www.meetup.com/NC-Sierra-Club-Headwaters-Group/events/158259962/

Is the State Doing Enough to Protect Your Water? Join the Discussion. 
Over the last three years, DENR staff monitoring water quality has been cut by 25%. At the same time, the water quality section of DENR has been reorganized and merged with the Division of Water Resources. The Department has become greatly politicized with a large expansion of at-will jobs. Last year DENR issues a new mission statement that calls into question the department’s willingness to apply science to protect our water quality and also rejected two EPA grants totaling almost $600,000. The Sierra Club Headwaters groups will present experts and former DENR employees to address these questions and more.
