Purpose:
The
purpose of this project is to significantly reduce
erosion and export of sediment and phosphorus into
Sebago Lake. Conservation practices that reduce
erosion and polluted runoff will be installed at
12 road sites for an estimated annual reduction
of 68 tons of sediment (48 pounds of phosphorus).
Technical assistance will be provided to landowners
to address existing erosion sites.
The focus of the Phase I project is on private and
town roads in the towns of Naples and Sebago. The
project will provide technical assistance to road
associations and towns at no charge and up to 60%
cost sharing for construction costs. Cost share
recipients will provide at least 40% match through
cash, material, or labor contribution and agree to
maintain the projects as directed.
