FY 23 RR WBIF
The Roseau River JPB will implement best management practices in priority planning regions to make progress towards their 10-year reduction goals highlighted in the Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan. These funds will be utilized to implement install 18 Structural Ag Practices, stabilize 170 linear feet of ditch banks, develop forest stewardship plans covering 960 acres, sealing 4 unused wells, construct a urban stormwater management project in the City of Roseau, and conduct outreach activities to inform and educate producers within the planning area. Cumulative estimates of the targeted practices will reduce a total of 91.9 tons/year of sediment and 122.2 lbs/year of phosphorus from entering priority stream reaches.
