Description
A complex of wetlands and water and sediment control basins will be built in rapidly development watersheds of Wilton, IA. These practices are designed to treat runoff from existing and future development and will reduce erosion and runoff impacts to Otter Creek and impaired segments of Sugar Creek and the Cedar River downtown. These practices will not only treat the water quality volume but will also reduce peak flows from larger runoff events.
