LSC Stormwater Master Plan Meeting

Through extensive field work between 2018 - 2019, Poultney Mettowee Natural Resources Conservation District (PMNRCD) and Fitzgerald Environmental Associates (FEA) created the Lake St. Catherine Stormwater Master Plan.

The stormwater master planning process is used to identify current stormwater inputs to surface waters. The relative impact from each of these inputs is calculated and the ranked projects can then be prioritized with feedback from local stakeholders who are familiar with both the storm-related problems and the capacity and resources available to assist in their mitigation.

In September 2023, the LSCA, PMNRCD, and FEA held a public stakeholder meting to select the next batch of projects to be designed, using $50k in funds earned by the LSCA and PMNRCD via a Lake Champlain Basin Program grant.

Potential projects were presented, along with their estimated impact for phosphorus reduction. After a discussion with attendees, the projects were selected.

We are happy to report that those projects have been designed, and we have scheduled a follow up meeting to present them.

Please join us on Wednesday, June 25th at the Wells Town Hall at 6:30 PM for a presentation of the designed projects.
