Channel 27 (1/15/15) – “Dane County receives $1.6 million grant to help with ongoing clean lake effort”
Excerpts:
“Out of 600 applicants nationwide, a clean lake project in Dane County was among four projects in Wisconsin to receive federal funding from the USDA. The $1.6 million grant will go towards several ongoing initiatives to reduce the amount of phosphorus in the Yahara Chain of Lakes.”
“Together with countless community partners, the Clean Lakes Alliance and Dane County are working to prevent this runoff from getting into the water. The long list of clean water initiatives includes the creation of manure storage bins and buffer strips to protect the lakes.”
“Cleaning up the lakes and working to reach our water quality goals is something that everyone in the community can have a role in to reaching that solution [said Katt-Reinders]”
