(Lawrenceville, Ga., Nov. 4, 2009) - Staff from the Gwinnett County Stormwater Management Division will host a public tour of a stream restoration project in Collins Hill Park on Friday, Nov. 6 from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the park located at 2000 Collins Hill Road in Lawrenceville.

Anyone who is interested in participating in the tour should contact the Stormwater Management Division at dwrswreg@gwinnettcounty.com or 678.376.7126 to register. Registration is required and space is limited.

In 2007, Gwinnett County Stormwater Management completed a stream restoration project at Collins Hill Park. This restoration is part of Gwinnett's Watershed Improvement Plan for the Yellow River. The park was selected as a project site because of severe erosion along the banks of local streams and the project would improve stormwater quality in this area.
