Our Clean Creek program, a cooperative effort between FODC, West Virginia University, and watershed businesses and other organizations, will follow ten key sites in the watershed with quarterly water quality testing. Beginning in the fall of 2002, the program is tracking short-term and long-term progress toward a healthy creek. Annual "State of the Creek" reports will reach local and state decision-makers.
