$55,000 for the “Muddy Water Watch” program, which trained citizens to identify, track, and report sediment runoff at local construction sites into the waters of the Catawba River. Two other riverkeepers across the state have since adopted the program. Catawba Riverkeeper was also able to get two post-construction land ordinances passed. Recent focus has been on increasing education and on the coal ash removal from Mountain Island Lake. Today the program is known as Water Watchers and continues to train citizen volunteers in the modern landscape.
