2020 Lake Superior North Watershed Plan Implementation Funding

Lake Superior North One Watershed, One Plan (LSN1W1P) will continue to emphasize stormwater management in FY2020 watershed-based implementation funding through water quality improvements from 2 stormwater BMP installations and creation of a Two Harbors Stormwater Management Plan. To meet protection goals outlined by the Plan, SWCD staff will conduct outreach in the watershed, meeting priority implementation goals for education and outreach (EO) 1.7, 2.1, and 1.3. Outreach related to NRCS and forest stewardship will also be conducted in Tier 1 areas of the LSN1W1P area to match and coordinate the NRCS RCPP grant in the region with the goal of implementing 5 #391 Practices in the watershed. Responding to continued needs and concerns from landowners, a coastal erosion hazard map and outreach will be continued and completed to address Climate Change and Stormwater Management - sediment reduction, a priority implementation goal of the Plan. Water Planners for Cook County/Cook SWCD and Lake County/Lake SWCD will continue to administer and coordinate the LSN1W1P, including pursuing projects and grants to meet objectives outlined in the planning document.
