The project site is located at the junction of two headwater tributaries of Kickapoo Creek, approximately 6 miles east of downtown Bloomington, where a new 450 acre subdivision is being constructed. The watersheds of the two tributaries are markedly different; with the smaller northern tributary urbanizing while the larger, eastern tributary remains agricultural for the foreseeable future. The site provided a unique opportunity to study and implement several strategies for nonpoint source pollution control by restoring the channel and floodplain within an 88-acre City park. | | | | Date Created: | 08 19 2009 | | | | Agency ID: | Grant #3190713 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041180 Original UID: 21135 FIRST WORD: Kickapoo | |
