North Creek and East Lake Assessment Vermillion River Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS)

The goal of this project is to produce a subwatershed assessment report for two subwatersheds in the Lake Pepin major watershed. The subwatersheds included are East Lake and the upper North Creek that drains from Lakeville, both will be studied for total phosphorus and total suspended solids. The report will include two distinct lists of potential best management practice (BMP) location, cost, feasibility, estimated reductions and 30% specifications of top projects. This analysis will provide state and local water planners with feasible projects to reduce pollution to impaired waters in these subwatersheds.
