Project Summary

The Maillet, Sommes & Morgan Constructed Stormwater Wetland System is the result of a regional watershed wide effort to reduce flooding in the downstream communities by creating offline storage and treatment areas upstream within the Mystic River Watershed.

The project proposes to capture and attenuate stormwater impacting the Aberjona River by creating adjacent offline storage areas. The overall objective is to reduce climate related in-land flooding upstream by increasing stormwater storage capacity through the construction of a series of stormwater wetlands that will also provide co-benefits of: stormwater treatment/water quality; improved ecological and stream stability; invasive species removal; and, additional open space and trail development (including ADA access).
