As the retired director of Alabama Water Watch, I’ve had the privilege of working with the Friends of the Locust Fork River for 25 years. They have been a pioneer among more than 300 AWW groups statewide that have worked voluntarily for the protection and restoration of the water bodies they love. The Locust Fork is one of the most beautiful and biologically diverse rivers in the state, and it now needs your help. The Tyson’s Plant permit for discharging waste to the river is up for review, and ADEM, the state agency who grants the permit, needs to be sure that any discharge will not degrade water quality or aquatic life. A public hearing about Tyson’s Permit will be held Tuesday, November 19 at 6 pm at the American Legion Post 129, 1148 College St., Blountsville. This is an opportunity for Tyson to show they are good corporate neighbors, and for ADEM to hear from the people and issue a permit that saves the river for all of us. It’s Thanksgiving time. Be grateful for the work of dedicated FLFR volunteers, and show your gratitude and support by attending the public hearing.
