Stormwater Evaluations
All residents in Lake Auburn’s watershed can request a no-cost property consultation assessing stormwater runoff on their properties. The evaluation will focus on sources of erosion and provide recommendations to reduce erosion and runoff, containing it to the property or filtering it to the best extent possible. Other recommendations will be made regarding lawn care and other property maintenance activities, and information on all local and state regulations will be made available. The Watershed Manager will provide continued technical assistance to property owners who wish to implement recommendations.Shorelines Assessments
Shoreline property owners, whether situated on Lake Auburn and its upper ponds or any of its tributaries, may request a shoreline assessment. This assessment is similar to a stormwater evaluation but focuses most of the evaluation on the potential for erosion on the shoreline area and makes recommendations for stabilization, using the State’s OUR SHORE guidance for nature-based solutions. Both the Stormwater and Shoreline assessments can be completed, at no-cost, during the same visit. Both of these programs are vital to watershed protection, as erosion control is our most important goal aside from land conservation itself. For shoreline properties, there may be project assistance available.
