Rochelle Pond is a beautiful small body of water that is home to numerous wildlife, and is enjoyed by many fishermen, visitors and homeowners. This petition serves as a way to encourage the community to help provide a clean, safe environment for all of us to enjoy by reducing personal litter and placing trash in the receptacles around the pond. As a stormwater retention basin for Roanoke Rapids, over 500 acres of litter, over growth, and trash drain into the waters and creates a significant trash problem after rainstorms. Through the efforts of the community we can all do a part to help Keep Rochelle Pond Clean!
