dc.description.abstractThe Ten Mile Region Sub-watershed study area in the northwest hills of Salisbury and Sharon, Connecticut have been impacted by excessive nitrate fertilization for decades. The sub watershed lakes and in particular Mudge Pond (classified as mesotrophic) is considered degraded by The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. The DEP has concluded that large farming operations near Mudge Pond and its environs were contributing nutrient rich fertilizers in the sub-watershed. An ecological greenway model will be applied to direct the conceptual design. A network of greenway corridors offers a best management plan for the Ten Mile Region Sub-watershed and could enhance both the water quality and biological diversity while offering limited recreation to residents and visitors. The BMP network of greenways was adopted following extensive discussions with <u>local planners, biologists and land owners.</u>en
