MN Lake and Blue Earth Small Scale Watershed Planning
Faribault County Soil and Water Conservation District will develop two watershed plans using charettes, an intensive planning process used to engage citizens, conservation agencies, and others to collaborate on a vision for the development of a drainage watershed scale plan. The process allows landowners, producers, businesses, townships, cities and the county to partake in a comprehensive plan directly relating back to concerns and solutions related to surface water and nonpoint source pollution.

This project will result in the development of two sub-watershed assessments for City of Winnebago and the City of Minnesota Lake to develop a priority list of practices to mitigate the synergistic impacts from agricultural runoff and urban stormwater.
