Watershed protection 319

The Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG) is working with the Town of Shutesbury and the Lake Wyola Advisory Committee on a plan for the Lake Wyola watershed that documents existing conditions and identifies potential locations for stormwater management and water quality improvement projects.

FRCOG staff will be doing Shutesbury fieldwork in late January.  Once completed, the Watershed-Based Plan will be submitted to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection’s 319 Program. With an approved plan, Shutesbury is eligible for grant funding for water-quality and stormwater management/flood resilience projects.
