Portage Creek Stretch 10 Description:

  • Milham Park, just north of Kilgore Road
  • No riparian zone, banks mown to edges and highly eroding
  • Creek heavily impacted by stormwater, litter and large waterfowl population adding high nutrient inputs (unnaturally thriving by park visitors feeding)
  • No shading, low clarity during wet weather
  • Creek braided around small islands (but islands eroding from mowing and waterfowl impacts)
  • 2005 Stormwater Improvement Concepts
