The study was initiated to inventory environmental detriments, other than acid mine drainage pollution, in the Dents Run watershed near Morgantown, West Virginia and to recommend a plan for the correction of these problems. Plans were prepared for these significant sources of pollution: wastewater (sewage or industrial), solid waste, junk cars, and burning coal refuse piles. Short and long range programs were developed and five priorities determined. The first is sewage disposal for individual rural homes, followed by banking burning coal refuse. Long range program priorities included sewage disposal for the Dents Run area, collection and disposal of solid waste, a county-wide program to remove junk cars, the establishment of a covered bridge as a tourist attraction, road repairs, and the enlargement of an existant public park.
