also directs runoff from his driveway down to the same level spreader. These small actions can make a difference in the amount of stormwater that ends up in the lake. “Just like the gratification I get from showing people the natural beauty of Linganore from my hot air balloon, I feel the same about returning the forest to my property for my kids and future generations,” Patrick said. For future projects, such as planting natives around the three-level spreaders on his land, Patrick and Meagan can take advantage of the LLA Waterside Buffer Rebate program. This program rewards homeowners for landscape designs that help protect the lake from stormwater runoff. The 2018 program is still open for applications with a few spots left. You can read the requirements, apply, and get lots of help at www.lakelinganore.org/waterside-buffer- program. FOL will assist program participants with buffer designs and the LLA ECC application process. For 2018, FOL expanded eligibility beyond properties adjacent to the lake. Homeowners whose land contributes runoff to the lake from streets above may also apply. Please contact FOL or the LLA office if you’d like to upgrade your landscaping or follow the Smith’s example.
