Dry Basin Conversion to Wetlands
Initiative - The Council worked on a proposed project with
Monroe County to improve storm-water management methods. The proposed
project would convert dry basin storm-water facilities to constructed
wetlands to improve sediment control, slow water flow, improve
habitat for wildlife, and improve aesthetics.
Stabilize Stream Banks in Linear
Park - A project was co-sponsored in Monroe County.
Johnson Pond Area - The Council
is supporting the Village of Lyndonville (Orleans County, New
York) in its efforts to develop a restoration plan for the Johnson
Pond area. The village is concerned that hazardous substances
may have been discharged into the Johnson Creek upstream of the
village. The village wishes to remove the accumulated sediments
and to make improvements to the area.
