Potomac Riverkeeper, Inc. is home to two Riverkeeper programs:one for the Potomac River and one for the Shenandoah River.
The Shenandoah River is the largest river that flows into the Potomac River. Shenandoah Riverkeeper uses community action
and enforcement to protect and restore water quality in the Shenandoah Valley for people, fish, and aquatic life.
Jeff Kelble, the Shenandoah Riverkeeper, patrols the water, educates the community, and advocates for a healthier Shenandoah
River. Jeff knows how an unhealthy river can hurt the local economy and the health of the local residents. In 2005, after fish kills
ruined his fishing guide business, Jeff closed his 6-year old business and joined up with Potomac Riverkeeper Ed Merrifield.
Jeff’s job is to investigate pollution in the Shenandoah and start a dialogue with the polluters. If the polluters do not listen,
or do not stop polluting, Jeff is ready to use the citizen suit provisions of the Clean Water Act,
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and other environmental laws. Contact Jeff to learn more!
