| Abstract: |
To improve water quality in Silver Lake, a key recreational amenity, the Town of Wilmington, Massachusetts, implemented several features that are part of low-impact development in an effort to collect and treat storm water before it enters the lake. Subsequent monitoring indicates that the various storm-water management practices are performing as designed. More broadly, the town.s actions are part of a larger effort to restore the health of the troubled Ipswich River in northeastern Massachusetts. |
