What: French Broad River Tire Cleanup
When: Wednesday October 13 at 9:30am
Where: French Broad River, before Madison County line, a little past Alexander Bridge
Why: To improve water quality by cleaning up a long standing trash dump in the French Broad River
The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and the Western North Carolina Alliance (WNCA) will be cleaning up the French Broad River on Wednesday October 13. This joint effort will work to remove a large amount of tires that have accumulated near a popular fishing, boating and swimming area on the French Broad River. The owner of 800-GET-JUNK will also be donating his time to haul the tires to the Buncombe County Landfill. This effort is one of many important short and long term projects that DWQ and the French Broad Riverkeeper are working towards to improve the water quality in the French Broad River Watershed.
