Six Lakes Subwatershed Analysis
The Six Lakes subwatershed analysis will utilize previously completed watershed modeling to conduct subwatershed analyses for six high priority lakes that are closest to meeting state water quality standards or require protection due to high public use and declining water quality trends. This project will develop a long list of cost benefit ranked water quality best management practices based on concept design.

This project will develop a long list of cost benefit ranked water quality best management practices based on concept design for the following lakes: Long Lake in Scandia (impaired), Jellum's Lake (impaired), Fish Lake (impaired), Big Carnelian Lake (high public use), Little Carnelian Lake (high public use and declining water quality trend), and Square Lake (high public use and declining water quality trend).

$3,325,000 the first year and $4,275,000 the second year are 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.
The project will produce a comprehensive list of practices ranked by cost benefit analysis within each of six high priority lake watersheds of the Watershed District.
