Watershed Summary 

The Otter River Watershed covers approximately 106,350 acres.  It is predominantly forested (89.1%). The Otter River Watershed Plan was approved under the CMI administrative rules and was funded under section 319.  An inventory/evaluation was conducted to identify high priority sites for Best Management Practice installment, along with an educational outreach program.   An assortment of large corporate, small private, and public partners were all actively involved in the project in an effort to restore this watershed to its historic and natural water quality state.
