Grass Lake Restoration 2020
This grant will be used to complete a large, ongoing project. Work that remains to be completed for which additional funding is needed includes; installing the main outlet structure which will be used to control and manage restored water levels, installing a fish barrier on the outlet structure to prevent rough fish migration into the project, installing the secondary armored overflow for managing larger flood events, installing an upstream diversion dam, constructing remaining earthen embankments, and other miscellaneous activities such as leveling internal ditch spoil piles, as funding allows.
Work was completed as per the approved work plan and included an 800 acre wetland restored in partnership with the DNR to improve water quality and restore fish habitat in the Grass Lake Basin
