“Each year the clear lake township land conservancy conducts water quality monitoring to guide water quality enhancement efforts and approaches. The four major ditches flowing into clear lake are tested with the help from several volunteers. During the year, the conservancy continued a watershed diagnostic study which establishes an extensive database to identify key projects impacting the health and safety of the surrounding lakes and ditches feeding the lake. The grant of 4,000 from the land trust alliance assisted with providing up to 25% cost share towards residential glacial stone seawall installations. After an application period and internal review process, five residential glacial stone projects received the 25% cost share. Glacial stones absorb wave energy, reduce erosion, and protect sensitive habitats.”
