RESCHEDULED: Mudchasers wanted: Sign up to track pollution and sediment pumps

Chris Irwin

KNOXVILLE — Join Chris Irwin and others to learn how to help track the origin of sediments and other pollutants in area waterways.

The meeting was postponed by snow and is now set for 7 p.m. Jan. 24 at Barleys, 200 East Jackson Ave., Knoxville.

“Spring is coming and with it rain and mud into the creeks and streams around Knoxville. We think a handful of people working together can stop a lot of mud going into the Tennessee River.

“This meeting is to show maps, a free app for gps pics, and a process to follow mud to its source so we can rat out the developers and others being sloppy with the health of our streams. We have the technology.”
