The St. Jones team began on June 8, 2005 and submitted the completed PCS on February 20, 2007, after twenty months of hard work and commitment by all who participated in the process.

In February, the St. Jones Tributary Action Team submitted their recommendations for the Pollution Control Strategy to Secretary Hughes of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Control (DNREC).  They are awaiting a response from his office. 

Several other projects are moving ahead in the watershed and team members remain actively involved.

One is an upcoming watershed-wide stream assessment in partnership with Duffield Associates to identify potential projects that will be implemented throughout the watershed.

Another is the Silver Lake Revitalization Project, which is installing buffers along the St. Jones River in Silver Lake Park in Dover.

Volunteer help for both projects is always welcome, and we invite you to become part of making the difference!  Please contact Lyle Jones at DNREC's Watershed Assessment Section for more information at (302) 739-9939.
