MONITORING: THE CITIZENS' ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM (CEMP) CONTINUED IN ITS 25TH YEAR. 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. EVERY MAY FOR THE PAST 36 YEARS, AWC CONDUCTS A LARGE CREEK CLEANUP EVENT. IN 2021 OVER 500 VOLUNTEERS CLEANED CREEKS AND LAKES IN MAY AND SEPTEMBER. TRASH AND RECYCLABLES ARE PULLED FROM LOCAL WATERWAYS AND DISPOSED OF PROPERLY. AWC'S SCOOP THE POOP PROGRAM IS AIMED AT REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF PET WASTE THAT IS NOT PICKED UP WHICH ENDS UP IMPAIRING LOCAL CREEKS AND LAKES. A SCOOP THE POOP DAY IS HELD IN APRIL TO CLEAN UP SOME LOCAL DOG PARKS AND EDUCATE PET OWNERS.
