This Plan improves the health of the Lakes by pursuing the cost-effective approaches and actions contained in it. LOWA Management and Board of Directors will review the following plan semi-annually in April and October and with the budget cycle.
This Lakes Management Implementation Plan (Plan) is the roadmap for LOWA to follow over the next several years to ensure sustainable improvements to the health of the Main Lake and Keatons Lake. The latest derivation of the Plan is based on the March 2022 A. Morton Thomas and Associates Lakes and Stormwater Management Plan, and the projects herein have been prioritized by the General Manager’s Lakes Working Group, with the goal to manage stormwater and mitigate excess sediment and nutrients from entering the Main Lake and Keatons Lake through best management practices, structural projects, and roadside ditch restoration and improvement. Best management practices (BMP) structural project sites were chosen based on maximizing drainage area captured while minimizing environmental impacts.
