Hello!  This is Carlotta again.  I arrived at the Morris Creek Watershed Assocation (MCWA) on Saturday March 9th just in time for one of their weekend events.  The MCWA had 61 volunteers from WVU Tech and Bridgemont Community and Technical College that helped throughout the day.  The focus was on three projects being worked.  The first was the piping of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD)  to the beginning of passive treatment systems at two locations.  One system will use the repiping of AMD to power a hydro turbine and aid in treating the AMD.  The second will allow the MCWA and its parters to monitor a different method of treating AMD known as a "Swedish Tank" (limestone diversion well).  The third project was clearing trails to points of interest to allow students and visitors navigate more easily.  This day was a fun filled day with a lot of work being accomplished.  Now for my next stop to visit Sara Cottingham!  I hear she has been doing some great work!
