Cloquet Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategies (WRAPS) Development

This project is to develop a watershed restoration and protection strategies report that provides quantitative pollutant source estimates and a set of pollutant reduction and watershed management strategies to protect and achieve water quality standards for all aquatic life and aquatic recreation impairments in the watershed. The strategies will be understood and adoptable by local units of government and other stakeholders. New understandings and new relationships will inform and lead to eventual environmental improvements. MPCA staff, local partners, and citizen volunteers will be able to integrate the results of the watershed restoration and protection strategies report into local water plans for improving waterbodies on the impaired waters list and for protecting and improving waterbodies that are not listed as impaired.
