Partners Celebrate Successful Wetland Project

Public and private partners gathered Wednesday, May 27 at Maumee Bay State Park to celebrate a project that will improve water quality at the Lake Erie beaches. The grand opening celebration allowed participating partners to talk about how they worked together to address the problems of bacteria and excess nutrients in Wolf Creek. 

After years of study, design, and construction, a treatment wetland and sedimentation pond are showing excellent results in capturing and treating bacteria and nutrients. See more about the project in the TMACOG Big Picture.
