DEER LAKE CONSERVANCY INC: LMI-Runoff Control from Direct Drainage

Purpose

Deer Lake Conservancy, Inc. proposes to install storm water best management practices to control direct drainage runoff. Specifically, the Conservancy will: 1) implement individual waterfront lot infiltration practices (rain gutters with drain tiles, infiltration pits, or rain gardens) on approximately 20 riparian lots; 2) design/build restoration of approximately 4 eroded gullies; 3) provide technical and financial assistance for traditional shoreline buffer restoration; 4) establish demonstration sites with open houses/tours of restoration/infiltration sites; and 5) coordinate education outreach and sociological surveys (in the form of focus groups) to determine barriers to participation and share benefits of the projects. Special conditions: 1) Gully project design plans need approval before project begins; 2) applicable water regulation permits must be issued before construction activities commence; and 3) focus group script must be reviewed by statewide sociologist well in advance of first session. A final report in PDF format summarizing the results of the project as well as copies of databases, maps, GIS files, guidebooks, ordinances or any other products resulting from the project shall be provided to the Department for review prior to final payment.
