THE CITY OF OREGON, OHIO, WILL CONSTRUCT AN URBAN RUNOFF CAPTURE-AND-TREATMENT WETLAND SYSTEM TO REDUCE STREAMBANK AND CHANNEL EROSION IN OTTER CREEK. THE WETLAND WILL REDUCE THE FLOW OF STORMWATER AND TREAT IT BEFORE DISCHARGE INTO THE MAUMEE RIVER (AREA OF CONCERN) / WESTERN BASIN OF LAKE ERIE. IT IS PROJECTED TO PREVENT MORE THAN 20 MILLION GALLONS OF UNTREATED STORMWATER (AND ASSOCIATED SEDIMENTS, NUTRIENTS, AND PATHOGENS) FROM DISCHARGING INTO LAKE ERIE ANNUALLY.
