A Greene County man has been appointed to the board of directors of the Upper Monongahela River Association.

Martin Niverth, a research associate with Greene County Department of Economic Development, was appointed to the board as the Pennsylvania liaison officer.

The association, based in Morgantown, W.Va., promotes the development of the area that is encompassed by the drainage basin for the Upper Monongahela River. It's primary concerns are economic development, quality of life issues related to the environment and recreational opportunities.

The group also has sponsored several public meetings in the last year regarding issues surrounding the Dunkard Creek fish kill that provided information and brought together state and federal agencies involved in enforcing water-quality regulations.
