The Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority will partner with the Wyandot of Anderdon Nation to implement green infrastructure measures at Lake Erie Metropark and invasive species removal and restoration plantings at Six Points, both which lie at the junction of the Detroit River and Lake Erie. Measures include the installation of 16 naturalized swales (197,890 sq. ft) along park roads and parking areas, 2 rain gardens (2,980 sq. ft) at the Marshlands Museum interpretive center, and the restoration of a riparian area (approximately 8 acres) with native vegetation at the Wyandot Six Points. The project will capture over 1.67 million gallons of stormwater runoff reducing pollutants entering Lake Erie.
The HCMA Stormwater Management will provide the basis of the green infrastructure design process. HCMA staff refined the green infrastructure improvements and prepared a concept plan for reference (see Attachment B). The Six Points Master Plan (see Attachment C) will also be referenced to provide the basis of the invasive species removal and restoration planting design process.
Both green infrastructure improvements and invasive removal/restoration activities will be guided with continued input from stakeholders, public input, outside agency permitting and overall project goals.
