Stormwater Management Program Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
Drainage conveyance stabilization, revegetation, road runoff treatment, and pavement of unpaved roadways in Kings Beach. This project was implemented through different phases including the Coon Street Clean Water Pipe, the Lower Chipmunk Project, and the Lower Secline Project. The Lower Secline project was completed in 2023 and included the paving of Lower Secline and Brockway Vista Ave which were unpaved or in poor condition in close proximity to the lake. The project included paving the existing dirt roads, stabilizing road shoulders, formalizing parking on unimproved surfaces and installing water quality improvements to reduce the quantity of sediment transport.
