In the next few episodes, we’ll give you an overview on each of these sub-basins. In episode #51, Ashley Bembenek, local water quality specialist, gives us an overview of the East River watershed. Stakeholder outreach for the East River watershed will be completed this summer and field work will commence in 2018.
