MECI's GRAND PLAN FOR MODDERFONTEIN AND SURROUNDS
Recently the Modderfontein Environmental Community Initiative
(MECI) was founded to facilitate a unified group of people interested in
cleaning up the surrounding environment and preserving the wonderful rural
atmosphere and sense of place the pine forests and tree lined streets and old
residential areas provide in Modderfontein. To some degree there has been a
growing realization by the property owners of Modderfontein that MECI requests, the cleaning up of Dam 1 as an example, which for many years was not protected from the rampant pollution from local and surrounding
industry upstream of Modderfontein. To this end MECI wishes to announce a new
''GRAND PLAN''.
MECI's GRAND PLAN has recently begun the process to facilitate the
coming together of all role players in The Modderfontein area and all surrounding industry upstream of
Modderfontein, including the Government and municipalities who lay down and enforce the environmental management laws governing pollution of
waterways and dams on private property. This plan will comprise a marketing and awareness effort, a
monitoring and policing effort and an enforcement component. The local press
will be expected to assist in the positive marketing of this effort which will
ultimately benefit all in the area.
