2019 - CWF MDM County Ditch 68
This project will decrease peak flows and associated water quality issues such as sediment and phosphorus on County Ditch 68, Mud Lake, and Fountain Lake. Practices include a 40-acre storage and treatment wetland, two cropped and altered wetland restorations of an acre each, converting 32 acres of cropland to perennial cover, and two grade stabilization structures. Anticipated annual outcomes include approximately 160 acre feet of combined temporary and permanent water storage, 88 pounds reduction of phosphorus transport to surface waters, 45 tons of reduction of sediment, and 2,044 pounds of reduction of nitrogen.
