Farr/South Side Tipple was a two phase process. First, regrading and revegetation were conducted. The following year, an anoxic limestone drain was put in place. This ALD has been working to take out alkalinity and raise pH but is not working at its full potential. Although Farr was number five in importance ranking, it is a highly visible area located close to Mineral City. Because of this, the group wanted the community to see a project right away. Farr is located in the South Western part of the watershed. A third phase will take place eventually to compensate for the excessive amount of water running through the system. Funding was provided an Ohio EPA 319 grant and ODNR. The project was designed by Gannett Flemming for $30,976 and constructed by Tuscon for about $150,000.
