Riparian Buffer Installation for the Houston Property on the West River, Newfane, VT

Through their water quality monitoring program, WRWA identified several reaches of the West River where levels of E. coli, and/or total phosphorous exceeded water quality guidance standards.  These areas were also identified as potential project sites where a SEP would be beneficial.  After negotiations with several landowners in the identified areas, a project site was selected and a native-plant riparian buffer was installed using the SEP funding.  The following report serves as the final documentation for my Masters project as well as a project report for WRWA, the Windham County NRCD, and the property owners where the project took place.
