The purpose of this project was to develop a Watershed Management Plan (WMP) for the Hart Brook Watershed that would allow for continued development in the watershed while also working to improve the water quality of the brook and return it to Class B standards. 

 
The WMP was developed by the City of Lewiston and a stakeholder group with technical assistance provided by a consultant and Maine DEP. A public meeting was held at the start of the development process, and a mix of 26 residential, commercial, and government entities attended. Approximately 1/3 of those attending continued on as part of the stakeholder group, which met three more times. To develop the plan, project staff assembled and evaluated data; conducted public outreach; monitored stream hydrology and water quality; developed mitigation measures, cost projections and prioritizations; and wrote and reviewed the watershed management plan. The result of this work was a comprehensive watershed management plan document, including an Action Plan which outlines the actions for each of the involved entities.
