Five new stories focusing on restoring nonpoint source impaired streams were posted on the Section 319 Nonpoint Soure Success Story webpage, including Manatawny Creek in Montgomery County.

The other watersheds include: Vermont (Chase and Slide Creeks), North Carolina (Brasstown Creek), Virginia (Muddy Creek and Lower Dry River), and Michigan (Furlong Creek).

The stories involve erosion and sediment control, dam and livestock removal, streambank stabilization, riparian enhancements, and other best management practices. In most cases, stream segments were removed from the state’s 303(d) impaired waters list.

For details on these stories and others, please visit the Section 319 Nonpoint Source Success Story webpage.
