Help Protect and Improve Water Quality in the Banister River & Winn Creek
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is working with Banister River and Winn Creek watershed stakeholders to develop a water cleanup plan. The Banister River and Winn Creek do not meet Virginia's recreational water quality standard because of E.coli bacteria. Help us determine what actions and resources are needed to meet water quality goals by participating in the Residential & Agriculural Working Group. The Residential & Agricultural Working Group Meeting will take place on August 13, 2014 from 6:00pm - 8:00 pm at the Mary Bethune Administration Building Board Room at 1030 Cowford Road in Halifax, VA 24558.
Potential strategies include: Reduce pasture runoff & livestock stream access, repair or replace failing septic systems, minimize pet waste pollution.
