To address environmental sustainability, the Village of DeForest collaborated with a graduate student who developed a framework to determine varied levels of protection of natural areas that allows for a variety of development. The goal of the project was to protect surface water quality by reducing the phosphorus load entering the Yahara River from untreated stormwater runoff and to reduce the impacts of stormwater flooding on infrastructure and the natural environment.
