Project Overview

The Red Lake Watershed District will create an inspection database for 103E ditches under their drainage authority. The district will acquire a database software solution to conduct field inspections and to track ditch maintenance projects and use the software to facilitate compliance with state statutes. The project will also develop a process for completing the annual inspection and reporting requirements under Statue 103E. The project will lead to improving the district's data management capabilities and identify drainage system needs that will improve water courses that are impaired for turbidity.
