PROJECTS
Lake Garfield Watershed-Based Plan
A watershed-based plan is a holistic and adaptive document that provides guidance to local resource managers such as watershed and lake associations, local municipalities, resource owners and stakeholders for the assessment and management of resources within a geographically defined area – the watershed.

Hupi Road Drainage Project
The plans outline the installation of a catch basin drainage system that will capture much of the dirt road runoff and surrounding pollutants. The underground stormwater piping outlets into a pre-treatment sediment forebay just downhill of the driveway for 146 Hupi Road. Pretreatment will collect and concentrate much of the sediment and therefore nutrient pollutants. Just past the pre-treatment “sediment forebay” there is a planned fifteen-foot-long vegetated swale with stone check dams to slow down and infiltrate the remaining stormwater piped through the drainage system. Across the road a proposed baffle tank is designed to capture water and separate solids from water from the southern side of the road. READ MORE
Cyanobacteria Testing
Many bodies of water throughout the world are experiencing these blooms and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has formed the Cyanobacteria Monitoring Collaborative Program in which many states are testing and reporting results to the EPA and their local areas in order to protect the public from health problems
