Stream Restoration Forms New Partnerships
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) recently granted $1.77 million for stream restoration to the Mill Creek Watershed Council of Communities, in partnership with Butler County Department of Environmental Services, Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati, and the City of Sharonville. The 31-acre, Mill Creek Confluence Project, is at the confluence of the East Fork and the Mill Creek main stem in Sharonville. Stream restoration efforts will create a natural meander pattern to the stream channels in order to improve both water quality and quantity issues, reduce flooding in downstream communities, prevent stream bank erosion, and provide a recreation area with trails and wildlife habitat.
