The project will estimate sand-sized sediment loads for the Blue Earth and Le Sueur Rivers using United States Geological Survey (USGS) measurements to create an overall sediment budget for the rivers in conjunction with already completed fine sediment budgets. The development of the estimates from USGS data and comparisons will strengthen the understanding of the magnitude of the sand component of the total sediment load in the rivers.

The project will estimate the amount of sand loading at the mouth of the Blue Earth and Le Sueur Rivers using suspended sediment and bedload data collected by the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) and the analysis results published by the USGS and others. The development of the estimates from USGS data and comparisons to existing estimates will strengthen the understanding of the magnitude of the sand component of the total sediment load in the rivers.

The purpose of this project is to develop a framework to implement best management practices (BMPs) on ditches in headwater areas utilizing a partnership between drainage staff and the Greater Blue Earth River Basin Alliance (GBERBA). By replacing failing side-inlets with an alternative design, we can make strides towards our water quality and water quantity goals. The alternative inlets serve to prevent sediment and phosphorus from washing downstream and the design can also alleviate peak flows by temporarily storing stormwater.

Minnesota’s use of groundwater has increased over the last two decades. An increasing reliance on groundwater may not be a sustainable path for continued economic growth and development. The DNR is establishing three pilot groundwater management areas (GWMA) to help improve groundwater appropriation decisions and help groundwater users better understand and plan for future groundwater needs associated with economic development.

With only 1% of Minnesota’s native prairie remaining, many prairie plant and animal species have dramatically declined. Of the 12 butterfly species native to Minnesota prairies, two species, the Poweshiek skipperling and the Dakota skipper, have already largely disappeared from the state and are proposed for listing under the U.S. Endangered Species Act despite being historically among the most common prairie butterflies and having their historic ranges concentrated in Minnesota.
