Minutes of the Water Plan Implementation Committee:
As
technical assistants to the Water Plan Implementation
Committee, the Crow Wing Soil and Water Conservation District
can provide many forms of assistance to the public and
non-profit organizations interested in protecting
and
enhancing Crow Wing County’s water resources.
Education, technical advice, and assistance for water quality
related projects and activities are available upon request.
The spring of 2007 signified the start of a citizen
implemented water quality monitoring program involving
twelve lakes
within Crow Wing
County.
These twelve
lakes will be monitored twelve times over a two year period
in order to assess their water quality.
A Clean Water
Legacy Act grant for surface water assessment administered
through the MPCA was received
by Minnesota
Waters for
assisting lake associations with starting and affording
water quality monitoring on
their lakes.
The
WPAC was also a large contributor in making the program a
reality. The Crow Wing SWCD was partnered
with for the
purpose of finding interested and qualified participants,
coordinating the program at a local level, and
assist with the
training of the volunteer monitors.
Please feel free to contact us to see how we can be
assistance
to you and your water related endeavors.
