Salmon/McGrath Load Abatement ProjectSummary: The purpose of the project is to reduce the amount of NPS reaching the Salmon-McGrath watershed. Sediment and the phosphorous in the sediment are the target sources for reduction. This project will foster intensive implementation of BMPs on identified NPS sites; 30 medium and high priority sites will be targeted with cost share and technical assistance while landowner contacts and technical assistance will be used to achieve voluntary remediation on as many of the numerous low priority sites as possible. The project will also measure the reduction of sediment entering Salmon Lake and McGrath Pond by estimating erosion reductions from as many medium and high priority implementation sites as are feasible.
Project Duration: Spring 2005 to Fall of 2007 The project was completed in the late fall of 2007.
Funding Source: Clean Water Act Section 319 (administered by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection)
