Imminent Health Threat (IHT) systems are those that are discharging improperly treated human waste onto the ground surface or into surface waters. In addition to the potential water quality impacts, untreated sewage has the potential to introduce bacteria and viruses into the environment. When IHT systems are identified, county or city staff assist the homeowners through the process required to bring their systems into compliance with the septic ordinance.

Gaohong is a Pipa player, a teacher at Carleton College, Chinese. Recently, the mayor of St. Paul named April 3rd, 2022 Gaohong Day. I was touched by Gaohong's story: the hardship, the joy, the courage to bridge the gaps. I put together this interactive writing process with Gaohong, educators and students in Chinese immersion schools for a picture book. I wish this project could answer: Who are we in the history and in the current curriculum? Who do we want to be in the future?

This proposal will fund technical assistance for nutrient management planning to accelerate water quality improvements with the 12-county West Central Technical Service Area (WCTSA). A needs assessment identified an estimated 156 certified nutrient management plans that will be needed over a 3 year period. Of the 71 SWCD employees in the WCTSA, only 1 SWCD staff member is dedicated to nutrient management planning. To meet technical assistance needs, this grant will fund a Regional Planning Specialist (RPS) to address local resource concerns.
