Project Title: Two Hearted River Watershed Sedimentation Reduction

Two Hearted River Watershed Sedimentation Reduction
This project supports the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, pursuant to Public Law 111-88. Specifically, this project will address the most significant sediment sources within the watershed: road-stream crossings and recreation access sites. Specifically, this project will systematically improve 12 of the highest priority sites with a net effect of reducing sediment loads in the watershed and nearshore waters of Lake Superior by 25%. The project will also eliminate fish barriers at 4 sites, restoring unrestricted fish access to over 20 miles of high quality stream habitat and a 55-acre lake.
