The purpose of this project was to identify, document, and prioritize soil erosion and phosphorus pollution sites in the watersheds of Parker, David, and Tilton Ponds, to raise public awareness, and to encourage active stewardship. The long-term goal is to reduce watershed pollutant loading to improve and protect the water quality of the ponds.
Planning for the watershed survey began in early 2011 using a steering committee composed of representatives from all partner groups. All landowners within the three watersheds were contacted to inform them of the survey and give them the opportunity to opt-out. In the spring and summer of 2011, all developed portions of the watersheds were surveyed for sources of NPS pollution by 27 trained volunteers and 10 technical staff. After survey results were compiled, an educational summary and a full report were produced. The full report was distributed throughout the four communities and included summaries of data, photos of erosion problems, maps of the site locations, and recommendations for next steps. In May 2012, all landowners who participated in the survey received either a postcard thanking them for their participation and a link to the survey report; or if their property had issues impacting water quality, a personalized letter describing what was found on their property, the general survey results, and information on how they could take advantage of the 30 Mile River Watershed Association Youth Conservation Corps to help with corrective action.
