Case Study: On-Farm Green Infrastructure to Reduce Sediment Accumulation in a Municipal Drain in Enniskillen

Case Study: On-Farm Green Infrastructure to Reduce Sediment Accumulation in a Municipal Drain in Enniskillen

A Green Infrastructure Case Study: On-Farm Green Infrastructure to Reduce Sediment Accumulation in a Municipal Drain in Enniskillen

March 2022 | Kelli Smith, Watershed Biologist, SCRCA

 

This green infrastructure case study looks at a local green infrastructure project undertaken on a farm in Enniskillen, Ontario that used sediment traps, rock chutes, and erosion control matting in order to reduce sediment accumulation in the McFadyen Drain.

This project was coordinated by the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority with funding support from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
