HIGHLAND LAKE WATERSHED SURVEY
"On May 19, 2018, a group of volunteers participated in a Watershed Survey of the Highland Lake Watershed. Eight teams, each led by a professional technical leader, spent a very long and rigorous day surveying over 8 square miles from Little Duck Pond on the north end, to the dam at the south end of the lake. The teams walked all waterfront properties (with the exception of those that elected to opt out), all stream crossings and roadways that potentially could directly impact the lake.
The goal of the survey was to identify erosion sites within the watershed area that likely were contributing Non-Point Source (NPS) pollution into Highland Lake. These sites included areas of bare soil that allowed runoff through residential properties and driveways, boat ramps, paths to the waterfront, right- of- ways and construction sites. Also identified were poorly maintained private roads, plugged culverts, un-vegetated
ditches and eroding stream banks." - HLA Summer Newsletter
