In 1999, CME Associates prepared a study entitled “Storm Water Management for the Protection of Webster Lake”
for the Town of Webster and the Webster Lake Association.
A total of 185 storm water discharge points were identified by CME. Eight were chosen as the most significant sites based on
the following criteria:
(1.) One or more outlets flowing into a confined area, such as a cove;
(2.) Evidence of sediment deposition as seen during field inspection;
(3.) Volume of sediment in the nearby area of the Lake;
(4.) Evidence of high velocity/volume flow during storm events
based on:
a. Size of area draining into the outlet;
b. The amount of impervious surface in the drainage area;
c. Slope near the outlet; and
d. Existence or lack of control structures.
