BMP Feasibilty Study of Boot Creek Headwaters
The purpose of this project is to complete a feasibility study to determine the best sites for projects in the Boot Creek headwaters, in the Le Sueur River watershed, to reduce erosion and pollutant loading. The study will identify critical source areas and provide additional watershed information to assist in prioritizing locations to address local resource management and water quality goals.
Accelerated Implementation Grants 2019
Annie Felix-Gerth
for accelerated implementation, including local resource protection and enhancement grants and statewide program enhancements of supplements for technical assistance, citizen and community outreach, compliance, and training and certification.
This project will result in the completion of a best management practices feasibility study that will identify sites and practices in the Book Creek Headwaters that will address water quality impairments.
Work was completed as per the approved work plan. This included Houston Engineering developing a feasibility report for the Boot Creek Headwaters watershed. They identified locations for BMPs and prioritized based off water quality goals to reduce erosion, peak flow, and pollutant loading. Identification and Prioritization of BMPs were based off ACPF and PTMapp data. Due to COVID restrictions Waseca County/SWCD were unable to accomplish all originally stated partner meetings. However, they did complete the feasibility study.
