On Wednesday, August 20th community members had a chance to tour a sampling of the 2008 Youth Conservation Corps projects. AWWA Technical Director, Adam Shoukimas welcomed the group at the Wakefield Town Hall and then participants were given a guided tour of sites on Lovell Lake, Great East Lake, Horn Pond and Wilson Lake. The youth tour guides – Crew Leader Patrick Jackson and crew members Anthony Stanton, Sam Wilson and Zach Pooler - described the advantages of Best Management Practices (BMP) installations in controlling stormwater and preventing pollution from reaching the local lakes and ponds. They explained the design and effectiveness of infiltration steps, rain gardens, dripline trenches, erosion control mulch, waterbars, rubber razors, and meandering pathways. Thanks to all who participated.
