Storm Water

Stormwater Management:  Nitrogen reductions can slso be achieved through the implementation of stormwater retrofit projects (including mitigation of the Route 6 drainage) and fertilizer reductions.  Credits of 25% reductions are allowed on an interim basis as part of the 208 Plan.  These reductions will be required to be documented as part of the monitoring and adaptive management program.  

 A current stormwater project is under study by the MADOT at the intersection of Route 6 and Main Street.  Two meetings were conducted with town officials and MADOT staff.  We provided recommendations to integrate green infrastructure practices into the project.  Discussions are presently underway with MADOT to evaluate the possibilities to enhance this project and its water quality benefits.
