My Nonprofit Reviews

I logged on recently and was disappointed to see only two dated and negative reviews. One of the reviews posits that The Waccamaw River is clean. It is no accident that the River is clean. We fought to remove old shacks from the river eliminating pollution, including human waste, from being discharged directly into the river. We have, with Coastal Carolina University, our partner, monitored the river’s water quality for over a decade, investigating and resolving issues to protect clean water.
We with partners,convinced Santee Cooper to commit to excavate and remove its toxic coal ash from the old Granger Power Plant in Conway, SC in order to eliminate decades of ongoing pollution to the river.
We continue to monitor this cleanup as well as the recently announced plans to drain Lake Busbee, and will advocate for proper closure of the coal plant’s former cooling pond that has known pollution.
We have removed over 30 tons of trash this year our rivers, riverbanks and wetlands, engaging 1,650 volunteers who covered over 200 miles at over 140 locations.
Check our website for all that we do to protect the Waccamaw and all the waters of our greater Winyah Bay Watershed. I invite both former and new supporters to sign up to get our monthly email newsletter and action alerts and join us to protect clean water in these challenging times.
