The Town of Batavia will install various stormwater management practices such as check dams, creek bed enhancements, native vegetation, and a stormwater treatment pond within the Bigelow Creek watershed as part of the Bigelow Creek Headwaters Improvement Project. Increasingly strong rain events have flooded and eroded this area, transporting sediment and nutrients into the creek and Lake Ontario. Improving management of the watershed will reduce erosion, sedimentation, and flooding.
