What is the big picture problem?
Long Creek and its tributaries
do not meet
state water quality standards
Background
![Page 5: F Y IN ON A T Y Pneiwpcc.org/npsconferenceold/15-presentations/General...Charlie Hebson, MaineDOT Academics Curtis Bohlen, CBEP Bob Pitt, University of Alabama Historians Jennie Bridge,](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042104/5e81a1cb9f1cbf3b68269768/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Residual Designation Authority
• The Clean Water Act allows petitioning of EPA to designate properties causing or contributing to water quality impairment
• March 2008: Conservation Law Foundation petitioned EPA
• October 2009: EPA’s final decision to designate
Background

Background

How Will Long Creek be Restored? Implement non-structural measures to address chloride, metals and nutrients.
Implementation Strategies
![Page 8: F Y IN ON A T Y Pneiwpcc.org/npsconferenceold/15-presentations/General...Charlie Hebson, MaineDOT Academics Curtis Bohlen, CBEP Bob Pitt, University of Alabama Historians Jennie Bridge,](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042104/5e81a1cb9f1cbf3b68269768/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How Will Long Creek be Restored? Treat 150 impervious acres to address volume of water, metals, nutrients, dissolved oxygen and temperature
74.83 acres treated (49.9%)
Implementation Strategies
![Page 9: F Y IN ON A T Y Pneiwpcc.org/npsconferenceold/15-presentations/General...Charlie Hebson, MaineDOT Academics Curtis Bohlen, CBEP Bob Pitt, University of Alabama Historians Jennie Bridge,](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042104/5e81a1cb9f1cbf3b68269768/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How will Long Creek be restored? Improve habitat at 10 sites to address dissolved oxygen, temperature, in-stream habitat, fish passage
3 completed (30%)

“This is very exciting. Long Creek should be very proud. You are dong pioneering work. It’s an amazing process to get a group together so you can see the complexities. It’s exciting to be part of that. There’s lots of uncertainty, but this work can only have a positive impact.”
- Member of the Long Creek Expert Review Panel
