A new episode of Sound Rivers’ podcast, “Sound Rivers: Riverkeeping Tales from the Neuse & Tar-Pamlico” is now available.

In “Muddied Waters,” Sound Rivers’ Neuse Riverkeeper Samantha Krop takes a deep dive into the No. 1 pollutant in North Carolina waterways: sediment.

It’s dirt, it’s natural, so why is so much of it ending up in, and harming, streams, creeks and rivers? Samantha explains how sediment pollution happens, where it’s happening, what it harms, who’s responsible and why not much is being done to stop it in “Muddied Waters.”

*There is one correction we’d like to make to the Muddied Waters podcast: the particles of soil in southeast Durham were said to be 2 mm in size; they are actually .002 mm (way smaller!).
