Developing a Plan to Restore Long Creek
Home
to the Maine Mall and its associated commercial development, the Long
Creek watershed is 28% covered by impervious surfaces. Long Creek
has consistently failed to meet state water quality standards and is
designated an "urban impaired stream." A diverse group of
stakeholders -- including CBEP, commercial property owners, and four
local town governments -- came together to develop a watershed
management plan aimed at cleaning up the Creek. The innovative
plan takes a proactive, collaborative approach to stemming water
pollution and it is being funded by a unique public-private partnership.
