Pine Creek Watershed Project

This project coordinates activities planned within the Water Quality in Urban Environmental Systems Center (Water QUEST) with those planned by 3 Rivers Wet Weather, Inc. (3RWW). These groups are working to develop microbiological and chemical monitoring protocols in watersheds that can be undertaken by citizen groups. Data produced by these citizen groups will be used to determine water quality standards attainment and to inform decisions within the TMDL framework.
