Our Objective: Our objective was to find out how population growth and the growth of housing developments affects stream quality.

Human Population Densities Berkeley County 1990 population (by census)- 59, estimated population- 102,044 people Pendleton County 1990 population (by census)- 8, Estimated Population- 7,582 people

Housing Developments Berkeley County Occupied and Vacant Housing Units 1990 (by census)-19,348 Estimated Housing Units ,999 Pendleton County Occupied and Vacant Housing Units 1990 (by census)- 4,516 – Most of the vacant units used seasonally Estimated Housing Units ,386

Housing Developments in Inwood, WV

Potential Pollutants Pesticides- used to provide healthy conditions for workers Petroleum Products- release oils into the soil Nutrients- fertilizers used for landscaping Solid Wastes- waste not disposed properly Construction Chemicals- paints, acids, cleaning solvents, etc. Other Pollutants- water runoff, spills, improper storage

Our Interview With Dan Ryan Builders What has your company done to help reduce run-off/erosion? – silt fence, filter, storm cords, diversion, stabilization, sediment traps How eco-friendly are your building materials? – average,/natural Jim Dorsey, land development manager

Storm Ponds Silt Fence Sediment traps

Conclusions In Conclusion: – More people in an area = larger effect on watershed – More houses in an area = larger effect on watershed – Our local watershed (Musselman/Mill Creek) is healthy by our data. – As more people move in and more houses are built, it is our responsibility to make sure that proper procedures are being followed to ensure the health of our streams.
