The National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) is offering this grant to support the ecological restoration of an abandoned wastewater treatment pond in Morefield Canyon. This initiative aims to transform the 1.6-acre site into a vibrant wetland habitat. The project builds on prior work by WRD and park staff, which involved evaluating site conditions, removing the pond’s liner, addressing remaining bentonite, and installing wells for hydrological investigations to inform restoration design concepts. This grant is for the purpose of establishing a functional wetland system, enhancing biodiversity, and restoring natural ecological processes within the canyon. Funding will facilitate the implementation of the finalized restoration plan and the successful establishment of the wetland.

| Description: | In 2011, MEVE staff asked NPS-Water Resources Division (WRD) staff to evaluate site conditions in hopes of restoring the abandoned pond to wetland habitat. The liner has been removed, but 6-12â¿ of bentonite remains on top of the native soil (sandy clay). WRD and park staff installed 10 wells in the abandoned pond in late summer 2011 for purposes of investigating site hydrology and developing and evaluating feasibility of restoration design concepts. The goal of the project is to establish an approximately 1.6 acre wetland system at the abandoned wastewater treatment pond. |
