Charting our CleanUp Process
Mapping Our Cleanup Progress
- Trash from stormwater runoff events in the Haw River watershed
- Trash from recreational use at points accessible by foot from nearby roads
- Nearly six miles of shoreline along the Haw River Arm have been cleaned. Another 4.5 miles are targeted for cleanup in 2012.
- Eight areas of shoreline that are heavily used for recreation (all outside of the Jordan Lake State Recreation Area) from south to north along the lake have been cleaned at least once. Our hope is that the Adopt-A-Shoreline Program will help to keep clean these and other recreational use areas that volunteer group may adopt.
