Upper Oso Watershed Water Quality Improvement and Habitat Education Project

Summary

The Upper Oso Watershed Water Quality Improvement and Habitat Education Project will construct a Best Management Practices 3-acre detention wetland, located at LyondellBasell Park, establish habitat along the perimeter of the wetland, incorporate a public education signage component, and create an educational partnership with the local school district.
