Persistence Pays Off

Congratulations are in order for River Advocate, Chuck Threadgill, who scored a major win in court after nearly 2 decades of battling OKDEQ for pollution protection enforcement in his own backyard.

Chuck Threadgill speaking with a reporter at the April 17th, 2025 OKDEQ public meeting.

Chuck has poured his time, energy, and a ton of creativity into the clean water fight, even putting up billboards and making a commercial with a funny twist on "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" from the musical Oklahoma!

Just like water slowly shapes the land, our push for environmental responsibility and clean water needs persistence. Every little effort adds up as we build a future where everyone can enjoy clean water in Oklahoma!
