	Welcome to the online home of the Coal Creek Watershed Foundation, Inc. (CCWF), a non-profit organization with a mission to improve the quality of life in the Coal Creek watershed. We are working as volunteers with government agencies and other partners to effect change by combining the intellectual resources of our engineers/scientists in East Tennessee with the common sense of the residents from the Coal Creek watershed.
The "CMD" section of this web site describes one of the tasks underway to achieve our mission: mitigation of coal mine drainage (CMD) impacts from abandoned sites mined prior to the development of current regulations. We are working in coordination with the Office of Surface Mining (OSM) through their Appalachian Clean Streams Initiative (www.osmre.gov/acsihome.htm) and other state and federal agencies to address the CMD problems. (OSM water quality sampling)
Coal Creek Deadwood Removal Day 2000 on Saturday, June 24, 2000, brought out 137 volunteers to remove deadwood from bridge piers and thereby reduce flooding impacts.
	We are in the process of developing the Coal Creek Motor Discovery Trail to enable others to experience the unique history of the scenic Coal Creek watershed.
On August 22, 2000, Congressman Zach Wamp, Anderson County Executive Rex Lynch, TN State Rep. William Baird, Commissioner Albert Slusher, Commissioner Jerry Creasey, and 250 students and volunteers participated in Coal Creek Discovery Day 2000 at Briceville Elementary School.
Barry Thacker, P.E. of CCWF, represented the 13-state Eastern Coal Region at the National Watershed Forum, as part of the EPA's Clean Water Action Plan. He was also named the Tennessee Conservation League's Water Conservationist of the Year. People are interested in Coal Creek as evidenced by the 10,000 visits per week to this web site. If you want to join us, we could use your help. There are no monetary dues or membership fees. Instead, you must share our mission *to improve the quality of life in the Coal Creek watershed* and volunteer your time to our initiative.
