Wetland Restoration
In summer of 2022 PPDC was awarded a $400,000 H2Ohio grant to design and construct new treatment wetlands along Perfect Creek and Dry Run, located within an upcoming park. Once constructed, the wetlands will encompass almost 7 acres, filtering sediment and treating both phosphorus and nitrogen, before returning water back to Perfect Creek. The wetlands will restore vital ecological habitat in addition to functioning as stormwater retention. Coldwater Creek Consulting was selected to design and engineer the wetlands. Completed in 2024, these wetlands are regularly monitored for water quality to study the effectiveness of the treatment wetlands.
