Watershed improvement projects in OK get EPA funding

Apr. 25, 2011 -- EPA has awarded $2.8 million to the Oklahoma Office of the Secretary of Environment to support three projects in the state's Clean Water Action Plan.

The first project will implement Best Management Practices (BMP) in three priority watersheds in Oklahoma. The second project will reduce the impact of non-point source pollution in Eucha Lake with floating wetlands. The third project will create a vegetated wetland in the area where aquatic plants grow throughout the lake.
