Friends of Deckers Creek is working to clean-up the decades of environmental degradation that have been inflicted on the watershed. Through remediation projects, trash clean-ups, community outreach, and environmental education, it was FODC’s goal for the entire length of Deckers Creek to be fishable by 2010 and swimmable by 2015; turning the creek from a liability into a community asset. However, delays in getting a treatment facility at the devastating Richard mine discharge have pushed back this deadline to 2020.
