Shelburne — The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation awarded the Lewis Creek Association an $18,810 Ecosystem Restoration Grant to support the design and implementation of a Stormwater Swale Best Management Practice and Policy for Shelburne.
The Town of Shelburne currently subsidizes the replacement of grass-lined swales with piped stormwater systems where property owners request.
LCA will assist Shelburne in the development and implementation of improved designs and policy for use of storm water swales in order to, reduce erosion, equalize stormwater runoff flows, enhance ground water recharge, sediment removal, and reduce nutrient loadings.
LCA will also document and analyze the effectiveness of existing grass lined swales in mitigating the effects of stormwater runoff.
