-In 2017, the second largest program area was the CRK water monitoring projects; we processed more than 4,961 water samples in our three laboratories. Through our Neighborhood Water Watch program, we were joined by 110 partner organizations and individuals at 163 sample stations. This effort led to the discovery and resolution of 15 major sewer spills. We completed eight years of nutrient monitoring at Lake Lanier and West Point Lake. All of our data was shared publicly on the CRK web site as well as Georgia Environmental Protection Division and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency web sites. We responded to 278 citizen hotline calls, conducted 240 field investigations, resulting in 33 enforcement actions. In addition, we investigated 170 industrial stormwater facilities.
Program AccomplismentsIn 2017, the largest program area was the CRK community outreach and stewardship projects, which reached more people than ever before engaging 1,216 volunteers.

We hosted a two-day conference to explore the impacts of climate change on our watershed.
