Guardians of the West Fork Watershed

The Lambert Run sub-watershed is within 4 miles of the City of Clarksburg, county seat for Harrison County, in north central West Virginia. Like many areas of the region, it was deep mined and surface mined during the late 19^th and most of the 20^th century. While there is no longer any mining the drainage from that mining still impacts the streams. Today land uses in the watershed includes small farms, woodlots, and residential.

It is the desire of the Guardians of the West Fork to pursue the takeover of these dams on the West Fork river: West Milford Dam, Highland Dam and Two Lick Dam.  However, we are not making a final commitment by this motion.  It is our intent to seek legal, maintenance and related information pursuant to this act.
