Good News: Our voices were heard!
ADEM commits positive changes to Tyson's Permit renewal.

"With us at their back, the Black Warrior River Keeper, Alabama Rivers Alliance and the Southern Environmental Law Center did the heavy duty legal/administrative work to ensure there will be no discharge from Tyson directly into the Locust Fork River. Not at King’s Bend, not at all. And the water discharged into Graves Creek has less pollution than before. Tyson has completed upgrades to the wastewater treatment systems and things are better, probably, not state-of-the-art, but better. Our continual monitoring of reports and sharing the results with you will keep us all on our toes." Donna Matthews

About FLFR

Friends of the Locust Fork River, aka “FLFR,” was founded in 1991 to actively preserve the natural integrity of the river in its free-flowing state, and to that end, the lifestyle of the community that surrounds it. FLFR protects the river by educating youth, getting people out on the river through guided monthly outings, watchdogging polluters, and working with other statewide partner organizations to advocate smart water policy and better protection of rivers statewide.
