YOUNGS CREEK WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN


The Youngs Creek Watershed Management Plan contains background information about the Youngs Creek Watershed, including land use history, demographics, geology, topography, and benchmark data about streams, creeks, and other processes that affect surface water quality.  This information was used by the Youngs Creek Advisory Group to formulate the Plan's goals, objectives, and strategies for improving and maintaining water quality in the watershed.  

Any interested citizen is enthusiastically invited obtain a copy of the Plan.  The Youngs Creek Project has already obtained over $230,000 to begin implementing actions set forth in the Management Plan.  Input provided from the review process will help guide the direction of this funding.

The Plan is available online for download.  If you would like a hard copy to review, please contact the SWCD office at (317)346-6102 or email debra-ashack@iaswcd.org
