Hello Everyone.
Here is our stream assessment for Connelly's Run upstream of the landfill. We wanted to conduct this assessment to be able to look at all of Connelly's Run, as a whole, in order to learn about the total health of the stream. We learned how to conduct an assessment that stream ecologist working for the VDEQ would use to learn about the condition of streams across Virginia. We encountered many challenges where a lot of them has to deal with the pandemic, but we got it done. We found that Connelly's Run was impaired for several reasons and needs to be put on Virginia's list of impaired streams, where it would be monitored and repaired.

We hope you have a good day.
