GEL/Ivanhoe Watershed Survey Training

What a great day for a watershed survey! On Saturday, June 13th (the one sunny day of the week!) 46 volunteers and technical leaders fanned out around the Great East and Lake Ivanhoe watersheds in 10 teams to begin the watershed survey to identify sources of erosion that contribute pollution to the lakes. They made terrific progress and will complete the survey by the end of June. The data will be compiled and the full reports should be completed by late 2009. Letters will be sent to all landowners with identified issues offering the assistance of AWWA to find solutions. The final reports will be distributed to the lake associations and the Towns.
