This Project Grant award of $700,000 was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Geographic Programs - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 66.469) federal grant program. The funding will be used by the County of Kenosha, Wisconsin to restore 3,280 feet of streambank, 12,040 square feet of in-stream habitat, and 5.2 acres of riparian habitat along the Pike River within Petrifying Springs Park. Key activities include installing stone revetments, planting native vegetation, and enhancing the stream bed to create natural riffles and pools. This habitat restoration project is expected to reduce phosphorus loading into Lake Michigan by an estimated 108 pounds per year, benefiting the residents of Kenosha County. The project will be completed between July 1, 2025 and September 15, 2025.
