June 9th, 2008 – With great anticipation the Long Creek Restoration Project will release its report outlining the strategy for restoring the Long Creek watershed. The water body, like many around the state, is classified as an urban impaired stream, and does not meet state or federal water quality standards. The plan shall literally be a watershed event by creating a model of how other Maine communities can come together to solve the ever growing issue of stormwater pollution. Will Savage of Acorn Engineering has been an active committee member volunteering his time and experience.  At Acorn Engineering a core belief is in serving the community though outreach and participation.  For more information on the project please visit the following link restorelongcreek.org
