- Pinery Outfall Cleaning: Douglas County was successful in cleaning 40 outfalls in 2024 and has extended the program into 2025. We anticipate cleaning an additional 27 outfalls. Work will occur on these outfalls in 2025 in either late winter/early spring, and again in fall/winter after the vegetation has died back due to frost.
- Pinery Detention Ponds: There are nine (9) detention ponds located within the Pinery on Douglas County Open Space. Douglas County is currently (January – March 2025) inspecting these ponds to determine if any maintenance is needed within these areas to ensure that they are still functioning as intended.
