Whats New in The Stormwater Quality Program?
The Natural Resources Division recently completed construction of a seven acre stormwater treatment pond on the south shore of Lake Mariana, at 711 Marianna Road in Auburndale. Stormwater from an existing drainage ditch has been diverted from the lake to provide treatment to remove nutrients and improve water clarity before being discharged to the Lake. The edge of the pond has been planted with wetland vegetation and the remaining 3 acres of upland are maintained for hiking and viewing wildlife. Several Woodduck boxes have been installed to provide additional nesting areas for the waterfowl.
