I’ve been highlighting the importance of treating the Bolin Creek watershed as a regional resource suffering from our piecemeal approach establishing adequate policies for its protection.
The whole basin requires, and deserves, a greater level of cooperation between Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Orange County, Orange Water and Sewer Authority(OWASA), the State’s Divisions of Water Quality (DENR-DWQ) and the Corps of Engineers to maintain and enhance its value as natural and vital resource.
Bolin Creek, though impaired from Carrboro to Lake Jordan, still retains many charms.
Andrew Vanderveer has documented a few in the following film (hat tip to The Friends of Bolin Creek).
