LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Stormwater Stakeholder Advisory Committee is set to convene on September 4 for a meeting focused on water quality monitoring and stormwater management in the region, according to the meeting agenda.
The committee will examine Town Branch Commons as a case study, featuring a presentation by Jordan Phemister, a landscape architect with the University of Kentucky. Town Branch Commons is a transformative multimodal trail and park system that weaves 2.5 miles of green infrastructure through downtown Lexington, serving as a model for integrating stormwater management with urban development and public space.
During the 9 a.m. meeting at the Phoenix Building, Tricia Coakley will discuss Kentucky Watershed Watch, a statewide effort to improve and protect water quality through community engagement and volunteer monitoring. The organization was formed in 1997 to support community participation in the state’s water quality program.
The committee will also receive an update on the city and county’s water quality monitoring program from Third Rock Consultants, LLC, and will approve meeting dates for 2027: March 5, June 4, September 3, and December 10. The interim director of Water Quality for LFUCG is Mark Sanders.
