An eastern North Carolina riverkeeper recently followed up on an area of Blounts Creek that tested polluted in late summer sampling for Sound Rivers’ Swim Guide.
Pamlico-Tar Riverkeeper Katey Zimmerman said Cotton Patch Landing on Blounts Creek was failing bacterial testing regularly by mid-summer.
Last month, she says a sample came back clear and Zimmerman collected another sample last week to make sure that whatever caused the high bacteria levels previously has been resolved.
