Mississippi River Winona/La Crescent (WinLaC) Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) Update

The Mississippi River Winona/La Crescent (WinLaC) Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) Update Project will help local watershed partners prioritize areas of the WinLaC watersheds through watershed monitoring and analysis, inventorying wells and mapping Best Management Practices (BMPs). The goals of the WinLaC WRAPS Update Project are to continue to establish baseline conditions of chloride in select surface waters and nitrate in agricultural drainage outlets, establish an inventory of pre-well code wells in two Townships of Winona County, and to map existing structural best management practices in three subwatersheds. With these goals accomplished, local partners will be able to refine prioritization in these select areas for restoration and protection work.
