Rivers Conservation Plan
To develop a strategy for the enhancement of the Paxton Creek Watershed, PCWEA spent three years and solicited the assistance of numerous environmental professionals to prepare a Rivers Conservation Plan. This Plan outlines the history of Paxton Creek, water usage, and activities that have degraded the Creek and the watershed that drains into Paxton Creek and its tributaries. It summarizes the results of stakeholder meetings and recommends solutions and strategies to rehabilitate the Paxton Creek Watershed. Importantly, the Plan recognizes the need for numerous different stakeholders to collaborate and cooperate in the effort to enhance the Watershed.
The Plan addresses the protection and rehabilitation of resources including water quality and floodplains, and the enhancement of others such as education and recreation. The Plan itself has been designed to be easy to read and understand. Sections of the Plan can be read on this website or opened and saved as a series of PDF files. Organization of Plan files is as follows:
