Watershed Council
Forms iorl Protection
OF Rock Creek Area

Plans were under way today for
creation Of a Rock Creek water
shed council for the protection
and the benefit of Rock Creek,
which flows through the District
into the Potomac.
The council was authorized
yesterday at a meeting at
Bethesda Chevy Chase High
School. Representatives Of con-
servation organizations, planning
groups and the Montgomery
County government attended.
DR.. T. B. Symons. former act
ing president OF the University
Of Maryland, was@autlioffzed TO
name a committee Of i've to or
ganize the watershed council. DIR.
Symons was chairman Of yes
terday's meeting. He Is a resi-
dent of Prince Georges County
and a prominent conservation
leader in Maryland.
Peculiarities Stressed.
It was pointed out at yester-
days meeting by conservation
lists and planners that Rock
Creek is unlike most other water
sheds, since about one-third Of
the entire area drained by the
stream is subject to urban de-
velopment.
It was explained, however,
that protection and development
Of this watershed might serve as
q pilot project for other areas.
Bernard Frank of the Forest
Service presented a series of
color photographs showing the
effect Of siltation and pollution
In the creek. He said records
show that floods are increasing
in the watershed. From 1888 to
1912 there were IA floods, but
from 1912 to 1850, 80.
Maryland Precedent Cited.
Explaining that much of Rock
Creeks pollution derives from
urban development projects. Ed
ward M. Davis, Maryland soil
conservationist. said that devel-
opers might take a pointer from
the Maryland Public Roads Com
mission, which has eliminated
washing from highway construc-
tion.
John Bernard, with the Mary
land Soil Conservation Service,
explained that systems might be
given the council under the
watershed protection law, which
provides now Federal aid ,in
planning watershed projects.
Enthusiastic support of the
council and the project was Of
fered by representatives of the
various planning, park and
county agencies attending the
meeting.
