To all intersted parties,
The U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers has been directed by Congress to conduct a comprehensive
watershed study of the Western Lake Erie Basin, including the Upper Maumee and
St. Marys River sub-watersheds. The study will detail watershed problems
relating to flood control, navigation, water quality, recreation, and fish and
wildlife habitat. The study will also explore possible solutions to these
problems, emphasizing comprehensive solutions that may alleviate several
problems across the watershed. For this effort to be successful, local
input is extremely important. Recognizing that the local stakeholder has
more knowledge of water-related issues and problems that exist in the Upper
Maumee and St. Marys River watersheds, we are asking that any interseted party
attend our kickoff meeting to be held at the
following:
Fort Wayne City-County
Bldg
One East Main Street, Room
200
Fort Wayne, Indiana
46802
Tuesday, October
30th
6:00 to 9:00 PM (Eastern Time)
The room is referred to as the
Omni Room. It is located on the second floor of the City-County
Building. The building is at the northwest corner of Main Street and
Superior Street.
Note that this meeting is for the Upper
Maumee and St. Marys River watersheds only. Future meetings will
be held to discuss other watersheds in the basin. We ask that you come
prepared to discuss problems and possible solutions that you, the stakeholder,
would like to see considered to improve the quality of the Upper Maumee and St.
Marys River watersheds. It would also be beneficial to inform us of any
similar studies currently underway, or recently completed that involve the Upper
Maumee and St. Marys watersheds.
If you have any
questions regarding this study or meeting, please contact Charles Gould at
313-226-3365 or charles.r.gould@lre02.usace.army.mil.
