Identify and prioritize local
resource concerns
Our Mission: We will be the lead facilitator who ensures that the natural
resources of Steuben County are used wisely and are there for future generations.
Although we work in all watersheds, for the focus of this presentation, we will be discussing the Pigeon Creek Sub-Watershed within Steuben County.
Steuben County Stats: “Land of 101 Lakes” – Population triples in the summer Total Land Area – 197,523 acres We rank 72nd in the state for the amount of acres we have in agriculture – “Everyone makes a Healthy Watershed”
We are an SWCD that typically works on agricultural issues. For example, here is a buffer or filter strip installed to filter runoff and contaminants before they reach the neighboring ditch. But as shown earlier, we also have a large urban and lake population, which is the reason we began working on our urban issues as well.
Pigeon Creek Watershed Background Info In 2004, five streams or lakes within the Pigeon Creek Watershed were listed on IDEM’s 303(d) list of impaired waters. 2004 - Steuben County SWCD/ Steuben County Commissioners applied to fund development of the Pigeon Creek WMP. Funding also helped the continuing development of the County GIS. Pigeon Creek Watershed Steering Committee formed. 2006 – Pigeon Creek WMP completed.
Indiana Department of Environmental Management 319 Grants
IDEM 319 Phase One projects (2006-2008) $108,000 grant including:
• Cost-share for BMP’s • Education • Person who worked with the Steuben County
Surveyor to install: 28,313 ft of filter strips 5,786 ft of grassed waterways 19 Structures & Water and Sediment Control Basins (WASCOB’s)
This Phase was geared more towards the agricultural issues listed in the PCWMP.
Rain Garden Installation at Project Help
Pervious Concrete Installation at Project Help - both partially funded through a CWI Grant in 2008
2008 - SWCD Jumps into Urban Conservation!!!
Other partners involved in this project included Trine University, Master Gardeners of Steuben County, and volunteers from Fairview Missionary Church
Phase Two Implementation September 2009 – September 2012 Partners with the goal of improving water quality

Success – Expansion of the Rain Barrel Program
Through the Phase 2 IDEM 319 grant – 40 rain barrels distributed within critical area of Angola
Outside interest led to program expansion
Received National Conservation Foundation Project Award Grant in 2011
Our Project
Expand Rain Barrel Program by 200 barrels
Stimulate the local economy
Provide a labor opportunity for RISE Inc.
Reduce storm water runoff by 390,000 gallons
Success!! – 270 barrels distributed. RISE takes over program and it becomes part of RISE Creations.
New for 2013: PHASE 3 – IDEM 319 Grant
• Revision of the Current PCWMP • Further Implementation – both Agricultural and Urban • Additional Water Monitoring • Continuation of our Educational programs
EDUCATION is one of the keys to better water quality!
