Hello all~

Because of increased interest in the Muddy Water Watch project, we
will be having a second orientation on DECEMBER 18, 2007 AT THE
BRIER CREEK COMMUNITY CENTER IN RALEIGH FROM 6:45-9 PM.
This orientation will give an overview of MWW, why a project like
this is needed in North Carolina, what we hope to accomplish, and
explain what you as a citizen volunteer can do to help curb
sediment pollution from construction site stormwater runoff.

The first official training will be held JANUARY 22, 2008 AT THE
BRIER CREEK COMMUNITY CENTER IN RALEIGH FROM 7-9 PM.
This will be the first of many monthly trainings that will teach
volunteers the essentials, such as North Carolina laws pertaining to
erosion and sediment control and clean water, seminars about construction
site Best Management Practices (BMP's), how to monitor construction
sites effectively, and other pertinent information.

There is a tentative orientation to be held in Durham on January 8,
2008. This has not yet been confirmed, but please check out our website,
www.muddywaterwatch.org, for updates, as well as for directions to other
orientations/trainings.

The first orientation, held on November 13, brought in 40 citizens, other
NC Riverkeepers, and state employees directly linked to stormwater p
roblems, all concerned about our waterways.  We look forward to meeting
many more of you at a future orientation or training!  In the meantime,
please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
