Document Description
This project will conduct an in-depth study and analysis of the Millerton Area Watershed south of North Fork woth the end result to be a management plan that will identify stressors and other barriers to watershed health and outline an action plan and timetable for implementation of projects that will improve water quality, quantity, and terrestial and aquatic habitat protection. The Millerton Area Watershed Coalition is already working on a management plan for the Upper Finegold Creek Watershed. The completion of the Millerton Area Watershed Action plan will complete the planning process for the entire watershed and will benefit the community by improving the environmental quality of the area. This is one of the quality of life factors that will contribute to their economic re-growth. It is also expected to lead to the identification of a wide variety of restoration and control projects that can be implemented using local contractors. And finally, it will also contribute to fuels management to avoid fires such as the one experienced in 2001, which stripped hundreds of acres of land leaving it subject to excessive erosion.
