Reclassifying the river would protect about 39 stream miles in a 6,000-acre watershed by placing more stringent rules on wastewater and stormwater discharges as well as erosion and sedimentation control practices.
The segments of the Catawba River that could be reclassified as “High Quality Waters,” or HQW, include the mainstem of the river and the headwater tributaries starting at the river’s source and ending at the river’s confluence with the Left Prong Catawba River.
