Thank You! BASIN was a community project which benefitted from over 1000 hours of public volunteer time. BASIN was highlighted by the US EPA in a national case study in its 2001 handbook Delivering Timely Environmental Information to Your Community. Thank you to all volunteers, and especially to the late Jim Waterman, BASIN Project Coordinator!
