"The Dunkard Creek Fish Kill and the Future of Our Streams and Drinking Water"

 

Barry Pallay, Frank Jernejcic, and Wallace Venable, July 14 Classroom A

 

Recent incidents involving the quality of drinking water and the fish kill

on Dunkard Creek have drawn attention to issues related to treating

waste water, especially during exceptional stream flow situations. Both

incidents involved high levels of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) resulting

from human activity. This class will provide an opportunity to learn more

about the TDS problem and methods of mitigation.

 

Barry Pallay is a chemical engineer, vice-president of the Upper Monongahela

River Association (UMRA), and chair of the Monongahela River

Recreation & Commerce Committee (MRRCC). During fisheries biologist

 

Frank Jernejcic’s many years with the West Virginia Division of Natural

Resources, he has observed both improvement and a number of

disasters in water quality.

 

Wallace Venable is a mechanical engineer, technical coordinator

of UMRA, and webmaster for UMRA and MRRCC.

 

Above meeting will be at OLLI classroom A at the Mountaineer Mall, Morgantown WV.
