EACH VOLUNTEER WATER QUALITY MONITOR SPENDS APPROXIMATELY 60 HOURS/YEAR TESTING CREEKS, TAKING PHOTOS, INCUBATING FECAL COLIFORM TESTS AND COUNTING THE RESULTANT COLONIES, AND FILLING OUT DATA SHEETS TO REPORT THEIR RESULTS. THE MONOFILAMENT (FISHING LINE) COLLECTION PROGRAM CONTINUES WITH VOLUNTEERS EMPTYING THE BINS AND RETURNING THE MONOFILAMENT TO A COMPANY FOR RECYCLING INTO FISH HABITAT. TO DATE,OVER 50 MILES OF USED FISHING LINE HAVE BEEN RECYCLED. AN AWC BOARD MEMBER, DR. HAGEDORN, HAS BEEN TAKING SAMPLES OF CREEK WATER AND STORMWATER RUNOFF TO LOOK FOR A CHEMICAL COMPOUND CALLED 6PPD-QUINONE THAT COMES FROM TIRE WEAR AND AFFECTS COHO SALMON.
OUTREACH: AWC HAS FOUR PRIMARY OUTREACH PROGRAMS. "CREEKS AS CLASSROOMS" IS SUSPENDED DUE TO COVID AND WILL RETURN IN 2022. STORMWATER RUNOFF AND WATERSHED EDUCATION IS PROVIDED TO ALL CITIZENS IN ANCHORAGE THROUGH A VARIETY OF MEANS IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF RUNOFF INTO LOCAL WATERWAYS. THIS IS PART OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE'S STORMWATER APDES PERMIT (ALASKA POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM) THAT IS ADMINISTERED BY THE ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION ON BEHALF OF THE EPA.
