Moores Creek National Battlefield, located in Currie, North Carolina, preserves the site of one of the first Patriot victories of the American Revolution. Moores Creek, the namesake of the park, runs through the western part of the park, and is part of the Cape Fear river basin. In an effort to preserve and protect this waterway, the park installed the current peat moss bio-filtration system to ensure that the affluent from the park’s septic system is properly cleaned and filtered before it enters the leech field and runs down towards the creek. The current peat moss media in the filtration system was installed in 2012, but it has badly decomposed and is in dire need of replacement.
