Seneca Creek is the largest watershed located solely within the boundaries of Montgomery County, MD. Although the creek and its associated state park are lovely, they have their share of stressors and troubles.
Residents interested in protecting the waters of the Seneca Creek watershed are invited to a meeting with the Montgomery County Department of the Environment (DEP), the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin (ICPRB), the City of Gaithersburg and Seneca Creek Watershed Partners scheduled for November 2, 2011 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Izaak Walton League, Rockville Chapter, 18301 Waring Station Road Germantown, MD 20874.
Meeting attendees will learn more about the Seneca Creek Watershed Partners and the impacts of stormwater pollution. They'll explore the idea of forming a new watershed alliance focusing on the many sub-watersheds within the Seneca Creek system. Discussions will focus on the benefits of becoming involved in local stream protection, group membership and the impact volunteers can have on making significant improvements to the health of their local streams.
Staff will make a presentation about Seneca Creek's history, its current condition, as well as stream improvement projects on the horizon.
