Reedy River Sweep
In 2007, Western Carolina employees and volunteers participated in the 17th annual Reedy River Sweep. The Western Carolina “Stream Team” group, in partnership with employees from Black and Veatch, removed trash and debris from the 1.5-mile section of the Reedy River. The portion runs through the property of the Mauldin Road Wastewater Treatment Plan at the intersection of I-85 and Mauldin Road, and serves as the receiving stream for the plant’s effluent. The fall workday was scheduled in conjunction with the South Carolina Beach Sweep/River Sweep week. The statewide program is organized by the SC Sea Grant Consortium, the SC Department of Natural Resources and the SCANA Corporation.
