Description:
"The Hansen Bay Watershed contains two residential subdivisions that share an entrance road at the end of Route 10. Stormwater runoff has been carrying sediment from unpaved sections of this road into Hansen Bay, threatening coral reef habitat (Photo 1). This problem was exacerbated by unpaved road sections that received runoff from the paved uphill road sections. This project paved dirt sections and re-routed water off paved sections into ghuts; thereby decreasing erosion and reducing sediment loads entering Hansen Bay."--Executive summary.
