Deer Creek Watershed Plan

The development of the Deer Creek Watershed Plan has been a three-pronged effort. This draft document has been shaped by extensive input from three standing committees:

  1. The Deer Creek Community Leaders Task Force is comprised of municipal representatives as well as representatives of other agencies with jurisdictional authority in the watershed.
  2. The Deer Creek Technical Advisory Group consists of engineers, landscape architects, and horticultural experts.
  3. Deer Creek Watershed Friends has created opportunities for individual citizens in the watershed to have direct input into the formation of the plan.

There is now an opportunity for you to comment.
