EPA TMDL Grant

The Boyle Park Restoration Project in Mill Valley, part of the Richardson Bay TMDL initiative, targets pathogen reduction by addressing high fecal coliform levels. Since the EPA's approval in December 2009, our efforts include identifying sources of pollution, like storm drain runoff and sewer overflows, and community engagement through projects like STRAW. Activities range from site restoration to educational outreach. Continuous monitoring and inspections aim to enhance watershed health, ensuring a clean environment for all. For inquiries, contact Chris Choo at 415-499-7586 or cchoo@co.marin.ca.us.
