What We're Working On

    In order to better inform the public of our efforts, we have broken all of our projects into three categories, which are current, past and future projects.  Follow the links below for specific details on each project. 

Current Projects

     Our current projects involve two AMD treatment projects, an AMD remediation plan and a small project for promoting our efforts (this site is a product of that grant). After  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.

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.

Future Projects

     With the Kolb AMD Remediation Project and the Big Run #2 AMD Remediation Project complete and the AMD Remediation Plan continually moving forward, we are once again on the hunt for new projects. Based on important water quality data and a lot of expert advice, we decided to submit a proposal to the Growing Greener Program to complete the Big Run AMD Remediation Phase II Project, which was funded and completed in December, 2003.  Take a look at our proposal below!
