 Delaware Nature Society Technical Monitoring volunteers in New Castle County collect data on tributaries of the Brandywine, Red and White Clay Creeks, and the Christina River. This data is currently being incorporated into a non-point source pollution water quality model used by DNREC and the US Geological Survey for the Delaware - Pennsylvania Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) effort for the Upper Christina Watershed. In addition, the data has been published in the Delaware Nature Society's State of the Christina Basin Watershed reports and is published every other year in DNREC's Watershed Assessment Report (305[b]).
You can help this important effort by filling the need for volunteers at the following locations:
Christina River sub basin
Mainstem @ Smalley's Dam Road
Mainstem @ Walther Road
Appoquinimink River
Drawyer Creek @ Route 13
Hangman's Run@ Taylors Bridge Road
To volunteer, please contact Ginger North at 302-239-2334 ext. 100 or E-mail. No experience in water quality chemical testing is necessary. All training, equipment, and replacement chemicals will be provided free of charge. In addition, all volunteers will be assisted by Stream Watch staff the first time they monitor their site.
