Time to control construction runoff/sediment is now
The Shenandoah and many other rivers in our state are under increasing stress from many different factors. Storm water managment and construction runoff are just two examples, but we have an opportunity to bring regulation on these factors up to date and into compliance with the Federal Clean Water Act now. As stewards of our land and waterways, it’s the responsibility of citizens and our elected leaders to help improve our waters resouces while there is still time. Regulations should be changed now, not five years down the road. Then, we must demand and support enforcement.
