‘Get the Dirt Out’
workshop set
for April 18
The Broad River Watershed
Association (BRWA) will offer a
free “Get the Dirt Out” workshop
on Saturday, April 18, from 2-
4 p.m. at the Madison County
Library, on Highway 98 East
of Danielsville. The program
is part of a statewide education
and enforcement campaign to
help reduce pollution carried
by stormwater runoff from
construction sites, according to
a press release. Participants learn
how to help prevent stormwater
runoff and sedimentation from
polluting our streams and rivers
under the Clean Water Act. The
workshop provides materials for
citizens to learn about why dirt is
a problem for streams, laws that
regulate construction activities to
prevent dirt from getting into
streams, and enforcement of the
permits issued for land disturbing
activity. This program is free
and open to the public, and is
being sponsored by the Madison
County Industrial Development
and Building Authority as part of
its community outreach program.
"The largest single source of
water pollution in Georgia is
erosion and sediment runoff from
construction and grading sites,”
according to the press release.
"Most of it is supposed to be kept
on site.”
The Get the Dirt Out Program
is designed to train citizens in
how to spot stormwater runoff
problems on construction sites,
how to report the problem to
the developer or the enforcement
agency, and how to follow up
to make sure problems get
fixed. This program will last
two hours and is free and open
to the public. Each registered
participant will receive a Get The
Dirt Out manual, organizers said.
Walk ins are welcome, but pre
registration is preferred. Please
call 706-795-3473 to register.
