(Threatened)
Goals
Other Indigenous
Aquatic
Life and Wildlife
Reduce Invasive Species (Eurasian Watermilfoil /
Coontail) by increasing education and implementing IPM
strategy.
Reduce excessive sediment
and nutrient
inputs
throughout the watershed.
Coldwater Fishery
Protect fishery by improving stormwater management
measures.
Reduce water temperature by re
-
establishing riparian
buffers.
Partial / Total Body Contact
Recreation
Protect recreational uses by reducing the input of E.coli
into the watershed
Desired Uses
Goals
Groundwater / Drinkable
Water
Ensure groundwater and surface water quality
throughout watershed.
Unique Habitat
Identify critical habitat for endangered / threatened
species and ways to protect their habitat.
Open
Space
Establish permanent easements and nature preserves
within the watershed.
Implement cluster development ordinances.
Increase buffer zone along streams and implement
waterfront overlay.
Public Access / Recreation
Protect and preserve current access sites along Duck
Creek and Duck Lake.
Navigation
Reduce Invasive Species throughout the watershed.
Concentrate on Eurasian Watermilfoil / Coontail in
Duck Lake.
Reduce sediment
and nutrient
inputs throughout the
watershed.
