In the past 30 days, the crew here at Appalachian Voices’ Watauga Riverkeeper program has been investigating some construction sites to analyze their impact to our mountain trout streams. We have conducted on-site inspections and documented what we found using three tools:
1) The Muddy Water Watch online site report card to report our findings to regulatory authorities;
2) The IM Rivers Muddy Water Watch mapping site to post pictures and illustrate where the sites are located; and
3) YouTube to create a video documenting what is happening.
Here is the video that our new Watauga Riverkeeper Assistant Eric Chance created:
If you see pollution anywhere in the Watauga or Elk River watersheds please give us call at 828-262-1500 and if you like our work we would love to have you as a member of Appalachian Voices.


Eric the video was great …the erosion controls awfully poor.
