Lake Water Quality – Lake Springfield Watershed Planning Committee

A volunteer organization, the Lake Springfield Watershed Resources Planning Committee meets regularly to discuss and implement strategies for reducing sediment and chemical runoff to the lake. This diverse group of farmers, resource professionals, utility representatives, chemical and fertilizer dealers, farm managers, and other individuals concerned about the preservation of Lake Springfield and its watershed always welcomes fresh faces with new ideas focused on enhancing the resources. This group has written legislation, sponsored research, and made recommendations to resource agencies to implement strategies aimed at maintaining and improving the quality of Lake Springfield.
