  "projectDescription": "The Copper River Watershed Project designed this project to analyze City of Cordova and Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities’ practices for snow handling and storage, to make recommendations for changes that would reduce pollutants draining to receiving waters, to implement best management practice site improvements at up to three snow storage sites in Cordova, and to measure differences in water quality of snow meltwater before and after implementation of best snow management practices.  Because synthesized research on the long-term effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill found that chronic persistence of oil has sub-lethal impacts on marine populations, the Copper River Watershed Project was concerned about the effects of stormwater runoff (including melting snow) on sockeye and coho populations in Eyak Lake, coho salmon in Odiak Pond, and juvenile herring in eastern Prince William Sound.  Due to unusually low amounts of snowfall during the winters of this grant period, we were unable to sample snow meltwater runoff.  We did complete a municipal and state snow handling practices analysis, improve one snow storage site and complete design of a second, and produce a snow storage guidance document for use by municipalities and state agencies.This design  was later used to complete another project.",
