EPA §319 Project Tours

EPA Tour 2022

On November 2nd and 3rd 2022, §319 and Chesapeake Bay Program partners gave EPA project officers a tour of West Virginia's many nonpoint projects in the Eastern Panhandle. The two-days were fully loaded with a wide variety of projects in various stages of completion, plus we highlighted several projects of the past that are still making improvements to the local streams. Projects included multiple stream restoration and enhancements, tree-planting and riparian development, porous pavers, conservation easements, examples of outreach and more. Below are select summary reports from our partners, as well as a link to the photos taken along the way and our tour map.
