Whippany River Watershed Action Committee and United States EPA: Notability Question
I hope this is an appropriate page to discuss this issue. If it is not I apoligize. (LeonardC (talk) 04:28, 6 January 2012 (UTC))

The article on the Whippany River Watershed is scheduled for Deletion. It states: Delete The sources are essentially parochial coverage, and for at least some of them it seems doubtful that they can truly be regarded as independent sources. There is no real evidence of notability.

The following can be found on the United States Environmental Protection Agency website http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/7144dd430c47561885257018004c77a3/d6165ffef5f792e18525716a005bccfb!OpenDocument on the Whippany River Watershed Action Committee, middle of page. Is something of this nature from a national organization, a source of notability? If it is not, how is this source referenced?

The Whippany River Watershed Management project was New Jersey’s pilot watershed management project. The Watershed Action Committee is a coalition of citizens and municipalities dedicated to preserving and protecting the land and water resources within the watershed and achieving the goals of the watershed management plan. Among their accomplishments is the creation of model ordinances that have been adopted by watershed municipalities to address nonpoint source pollution. They have also undertaken a project to achieve a 58% reduction in fecal coliform to meet the Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL, established by the plan. Through education and outreach they are engaging the entire watershed community in the effort to restore and protect its valuable water resources. (LeonardC (talk) 04:25, 6 January 2012 (UTC))
