Well, in a matter of what feels like 3 days, we have completed 3 weeks of erosion control projects on our local lakes. The AWWA YCC has been busy installing Best Management Practices (BMPs) on lakes in Wakefield and Acton. This quick blog is just to give you an update on the numbers and see the wonderful work they do. So here goes!
-BMPs Installed: 36
–9 Projects on 6 different lakes
-Prevented 23 tons of sediment and 19.2 pounds of phosphorus from entering the lakes annually.
A great start for our crew this year! We look forward to another solid 5 weeks of erosion control landscaping! Now take a look at the work they have done below.
