In order to better inform the public of
our efforts, we have broken all of our projects into three categories, which are
past, current,
and future projects. Follow the previous
links for quick facts for each category, then follow the links below for
specific details on each project. You can also check out some or our Growing
Greener proposals.
Past Projects
To be
perfectly honest, we haven't had many "physical" water treatment
projects in the watershed, which is one of the main reasons the Trout
Nursery Club expanded into the watershed arena. Thanks to the Growing
Greener Program and a lot of
help from Skelly and Loy, Inc., we
were able to head down the road to restoration over the past couple of
years. The project that got it all started back in 1986 was the
construction of our trout nursery. We also completed a small project on
the Kolb discharge in 1998. Please follow the links below to view the
projects in detail.

Current
Projects
Our
current projects involve two AMD treatment projects and a small project
for promoting our efforts (this site is a product of that grant). After
waiting a long time to put actual projects on the ground, we finally
gained momentum. We're extremely proud of our current projects and we hope
to use them as the building blocks for our future efforts. Please
follow the links below to view the projects in detail.

Future
Projects
Now that we're rolling on our
current projects, we have at least one more project that we would like to
have funded through the next round of the Growing
Greener Program. We applied for an assessment of the Big Run #3
and Big Run #9 discharges because we really don't have a game plan for
treatment. These are the two largest remaining discharges to Big Run and
possibly the entire Blacklegs watershed. We applied for this project last
fall, but unfortunately we were turned down. We view that as a minor
setback to our overall efforts. Please follow the link below to learn
more.
