In 2023, Three Rivers Waterkeeper performed baseline water quality monitoring, pollution response, and environmental compliance monitoring, and made progress on our riparian stewardship efforts.

Three Rivers Waterkeeper staff and board, key stakeholders participated in different aspects of the development of a strategic plan for key priorities, goal-setting, and the development of key performance indicators.

During May to September, Three Rivers Waterkeeper sampled multiple popular recreation sites for their E. coli levels. This report summarizes the results of the sampling effort as a whole and draws conclusions on the water quality from our 2023 sampling results.

At 3RWK, since 2022, we have been publishing annual reports that highlight our scientific findings, program achievements, and the progress of our work each year. These reports not only document key discoveries and environmental challenges but also share the impact of our efforts on the health of our watershed. Our reports are a way to reflect on what has been accomplished with your support and to share our vision for the future.

In this report, Three Rivers Waterkeeper identified and mapped major industrial polluters within our Three Rivers Waterkeeper jurisdiction with a goal to hold polluters accountable for exceeding their permit allowances.
