Natural Resource Feature Overview Surface Water Resources Surface Water Resources Drinking Water Resources Drinking Water Resources Steep Slopes & Highly Erodible Soils Steep Slopes & Highly Erodible Soils Wildlife Habitat Wildlife Habitat Prime Agricultural Soils & Most Productive Forest Soils Prime Agricultural Soils & Most Productive Forest Soils Objective: Protect Natural Resource Features that Maintain and Enhance Water Quality in Newfound Lake and Tributaries

~61,000 Acres or 95 Sq. Miles 56, 326 Acres Land Area

Steep Slopes = 22% Watershed Erodible Soils = 68% Watershed 21% Watershed = Both Steep Slopes & Highly Erodible Soils

Next Steps… Confirm Objective: Protect Natural Resource Features that Maintain and Enhance Water Quality in Newfound Lake and Tributaries Recommended Priority Features to Protect: Riparian zones along rivers and tributaries Riparian zones along rivers and tributaries Land surrounding wetlands & floodplains (buffers) Land surrounding wetlands & floodplains (buffers) Aquifer recharge zones (especially Fowler River) Aquifer recharge zones (especially Fowler River) Steep slopes & highly erodible soils (headwaters) Steep slopes & highly erodible soils (headwaters) Plan Refinement: Consider developing a “shared vision” of conservation priorities with a regional stakeholder group.
