Georgia, VT ~ The Friends of Northern Lake Champlain (FNLC) has completed a design for stormwater management and gully restoration along Mill River Road in the town of Georgia.
In 2023, FNLC received funding from the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation’s through a grant administered by the North Direct Lake Basin Water Quality Council (BWQC 5) to explore the challenges inherent to this site.
The site was identified in the Town of Georgia’s 2021 Shoreline Erosion Assessment as needing restoration to reduce erosion and improve stormwater resiliency.
FNLC has been working closely with the Town of Georgia and has contracted with Watershed Consulting to produce a design plan for stream restoration at the site. The plan includes strategies for reducing stormwater runoff and stabilizing the area to prevent future erosion. The next steps will be for FNLC to secure funding for implementation of the design which we hope to get underway in 2025.
