The Sunrise Watershed is a high priority subwatershed of the St. Croix River. Chisago County, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), the MPCA and several additional cooperators will complete a study of the Sunrise River Watershed. The goal of the study is to develop a watershed-based plan and strategies for water quality and aquatic ecosystem management, restoration and protection. Once completed, the study will provide input to the development of the TMDL and Watershed Restoration and Protection Plan for the Sunrise Watershed.

This project will apply the Sunrise River watershed computer model generated under previous projects to selected scenarios of land-cover and land-management changes. The watershed model calibrated to conditions in the late 1990s will form the initial baseline against which all other model runs will be contrasted. Scenarios to be run will include changes in future land cover, agricultural practices, urban practices, and natural resource management.
