WakeUp Wake County Update

WakeUP Wake County
WakeUP speaks UP at recent Falls Lake meeting
Plus: Post-Election "Indy" Discussion Nov. 16!
Forward this issue
Dear Friends,

More than 60 people met November 3rd, to discuss plans for monitoring polluted Falls Lake.   WakeUP participated in the discussion and spoke UP for your drinking water supply, advocating for a comprehensive monitoring strategy - Read more.

Draft Falls Lake rules, which take effect in January 2011, are facing setbacks from upstream communities and developers who have requested water pollution monitoring improvements before moving forward.  Ultimately, the challenge lies in enacting a timely and effective cleanup strategy that all stakeholders - multiple municipalities, homebuilders associations, and a variety of environmental organizations - are willing to collectively support.  The NC Environmental Management Commission meets November 17 and 18 to finalize the clean up plan.  WakeUP will be there and will report back to you!

WakeUP's participation in the Falls Lake monitoring meeting was highlighted in a recent news article:
'Agreement sought on Falls Lake monitoring', News & Observer November 4, 2010.

Highlights of WakeUP's past Falls Lake efforts include:
