 The purpose of the Pushaw Lake Watershed Project is to protect
and improve the water quality of Pushaw. The project will help stabilize the
water quality of the lake by reducing external total phosphorous loading by
reducing soil erosion and polluted runoff through the installation of water
quality best management practices (BMPs) in the watershed. Pollutant load
reduction calculations at each site will provide short-term data, while the VLMP
monitoring data will measure the effectiveness of this project beyond its
two-year duration. Outreach to towns and watershed residents will be conducted
to promote continuation of watershed restoration actions. |
