“Blackwater/northfork watershed: the organization received multiple grants from the west virginia department of environmental protection to plan a water treatment plant on the north fork of the blackwater next to the rail trail and one at beaver creek. The project consultant, bio most, analyzed the level of acid mine drain pollution, the sources of water pollution and the flow or volume of water from key sites and designed the piping to the plant. In addition bio most engineered the processing and the removal of the waste product from the treatment site and worked on permitting and land owners agreements for both sites. We have also continued to monitor water monthly along the north fork and along beaver creek of the blackwater. Additionally, new historic signage was planned for the north fork by working with consultants.”

“River trail projects: the organization is planning and designing the wv railroad heritage trail from thomas, wv to cumberland, md. Also, a consultant is planning and designing an 8.5 mile the blackwater river loop trail.
