About this Event

What's the current state of water quality in the Potomac River?

What are PFAS chemicals and how do they impact our water? How does road salt fit into the pollution story, and what can we all do to make a difference?

Together we will learn about these topics and more from your Potomac Riverkeepers, Dean Naujoks and Brent Walls, and from the City of Frederick Sustainability Department.

Event co-organized with Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin (ICPRB)
