What are our Concerns?
-  E. coli often exceeds acceptable levels in many areas of the watershed.
-  Atrazine loading within some areas of the watershed exceed the allowable annual average for drinking water standards.
-  Degradation of aquatic habitats due to sedimentation, low dissolved oxygen, and elevated nutrients.
-  Nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, are often at levels that promote algal blooms in Eagle Creek
-  Reservoir, taste and odor problems with finished drinking water, and potential health risks.
-  Lack of understanding and awareness of the watershed, drinking water resources, and the watershed's value as a natural resource.
