| Concerns about agricultural runoff impacting the drinking water in Henderson County led to a multi-front effort to limit pollution in the Mills River watershed. Innovative practices such as the construction of cattle feed/waste structures or the use of agrochemical handling facilities were combined with landowner education, restoration and conservation of riparian buffers, and streambank stabilization to create a program that addressed the water quality issues of the region. This large-scale project applied funding sought from a variety of areas and was initiated by the Mills River Partnership, a diverse collaboration of stakeholders. | |||
