Water Quality & Watershed Protection

Our Water Quality & Watershed Protection program is dedicated to safeguarding the health of our local waterways through comprehensive monitoring, restoration, and stewardship efforts. This includes routine sampling conducted under the EPA Clean Water Act 106, ongoing surface water data collection and reporting, and targeted watershed restoration activities. The program also works to reduce nonpoint source pollution in alignment with EPA 319 guidelines and actively manages invasive species while supporting regular riparian cleanups. Together, these efforts help protect ecosystem health, preserve cultural resources, and ensure clean water for future generations.
