Debris Removal Guidance

High Quality Habitats need protection

New River Conservancy and Trout Unlimited have been working hard to lobby the state and the Army Corp to ensure these debris removal crews do not destroy critical aquatic habitat while they are removing debris from the river and tributaries.

.

The NC Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) passed along a map of “High Quality Habitats” where it is critical that the debris removal crews use the Best Management Practices laid out in North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission’s “Debris Removal Guidelines”.

.

If members of the public need to report crews that are not following NCWRC guidelines they can use NC DEQ’s Anonymous Comment Tool.

.

We are working on getting maps for Watauga and Alleghany Counties as well.
