Pickens Regional Stormwater Education
Pickens County along with the cities of Easley, Liberty, and Pickens have collaborated with Clemson University's Carolina Clear program to educate and involve residents in stormwater management.
Together,
this regional effort will develop and implement a broad-based education
plan that informs citizens about the issues of stormwater management
and the role they and the business community can play in solving these
issues.
A new commercial is now playing on local radio stations in the Upstate that discusses the watersheds of Pickens County. To hear the commercial, just "Click to Play."
BIORETENTION WORKSHOP
34 attendees plus Mayor Larry Bagwell of Easley attended a
bioretention workshop on April 15 at Easley City Hall. Bioretention
areas allow for infiltration of stormwater, settling of sediment,
uptake of nutrients, and removal of other pollutants including bacteria
and metals. A bioretention unit was installed and activated in the
parking lot of City Hall during the workshop. Read the news coverage from the Anderson Independent Mail newspaper.
