MHB STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION III - Northern Lights Casino Event Center, Walker, MN
We are excited to let everyone know we have recently received a 3 yr. BWSR Clean Water Fund grant for a project titled: 'Prioritizing Conservation Project Implementation in the 400-mile Mississippi Headwaters'. We are holding a Strategic Planning Session to get all 8 headwater counties together to cover the details. The meeting will be Friday, March 30th (10 am to Noon) in Walker, MN at the Northern Lights Casino. An Agenda for the day will be forth coming.
The BWSR Grant project will develop a prioritization methodology that utilizes a GIS land analysis along with existing water quality data sets in order to determine river water quality trends. Once this data is gathered and prioritized with recommended mitigation strategies, it will be given to the 8 county water plan administrators such that a specific river chapter amendment can be developed in each individual county water plan. These recommendations would be specific strategies, often crossing county boundaries for implementation. Examples might include development of private forest stewardship plans, identifying key areas and incentives for best management practices, amending specific land-use controls or zoning districts, surveys of onsite septic systems, feed lot assessments, sensitive area protection strategies and more, but targeted toward the areas of highest priority.
Stay tuned for further developing progress..
