Two Rivers RC&D received a grant from the Georgia EPD covering 5 watersheds in the state, one of which is the Sallacoa Creek located in the Coosa watershed. LVRCD will partner with Two Rivers RC&D on approximately 3 sediment and erosion projects in the Sallacoa creek system. These projects will utilize Best Management Practices (BMPs) to help 'restore impaired waters to meet designated use standards'. We will also be involved in the educational outreach portion of the grant for each of our counties. This involves workshops, demonstrations and publication of 'Georgia Better Back Roads Sediment Reduction' manual to be distributed to all county road maintenance departments.

The field manual and fact sheet for 'Georgia Better Back Roads Manual' can be downloaded by visiting the
Two Rivers RC&D Better Back Roads site.

Dirt and Gravel Road Workshop sponsored by GA RC&D and GA DOT (no charge) will be held at the Komatsu Corporation Training Facility in Cartersville (click for map) on May 13, 2010. Advance registration is required, click here for form and click here for agenda.
