Mill Creek MetroParks Awarded Grants from Ohio EPA for Innovative Stormwater Projects:
In 2010 Mill Creek MetroParks was awarded a Surface Water Improvement Fund (SWIF) grant for the construction of a demonstration rain garden at the MetroParks Farm in Canfield. The MetroParks was also awarded a Section 319 rant for the resurfacing of the Newport Wetlands parking lot with permeable pavers and construction of a bioswale. Each project will not only help improve water quality in local streams and wetlands, but will be valuable educational tools. Both projects are scheduled to be completed in 2011.
Sign Our Streams (SOS):
The SOS project resulted in stream signage posted at 44 crossings on county roads throughout the Mill Creek watershed for a total of 88 signs. Click on the link below for more information.

County
Map Marked Marked With Watershed Boundaries:
Thanks to cooperation between the Mahoning County Engineers Office and AWARE, Mahoning County is the FIRST county in Ohio to include watershed boundaries on our county road map. Signage also delineates the boundaries of three watersheds in the county: Meander Creek, Mill Creek, and Yellow Creek. Funding for the project was secured on behalf of AWARE through an Ohio Protecting Urban Streams (OPUS) Grant.
