Project Details

The North Fork Crow River Water Planning Partnership (NFCRWPP) is an organization of six counties, six soil and water conservation district, two watershed districts, and a joint powers board within central Minnesota. The NFCRWPP came together and developed a comprehensive One Watershed One Plan outlining prioritized and targeted implementation strategies with measurable resource improvements.

Using a comprehensive list of resource concerns and issues, members of the NFCRWPP will be working towards the reduction of sediment and total phosphorous from the North Fork Crow River. This project will target xxx subwatershed areas and reduce up to 306 tons of sediment and 146 lbs of TP by implementing both structural and management practices. It is anticipated to complete up to 20 structural projects along with working with landowners to implement management practices. As part of this project, NFCRWPP members will continue to build educational events and complete projects to fill in identified data gaps.
