Werner Lake Restoration and Water Quality Improvement Planning Project

The Werner Lake Restoration and Water Quality Improvement Planning Project, managed by the California State Water Resources Control Board, focuses on the development of a comprehensive restoration plan for Werner Lake and Watsonville Creek. The primary objective is to reduce nonpoint source pollutant loads from runoff and remove accumulated agricultural sediments to restore open water areas. The recipient will be responsible for executing several critical planning tasks, including assessing sediment accretion characteristics within the wetland and collaborating with stakeholders and consultants to identify and mitigate agricultural inputs. Additionally, the project involves working with professional consultants to create detailed project designs necessary for the successful restoration of the lake.
