The purpose of this workplan is to implement practices within the Wild Rice - Marsh Watershed (WRMW) to make progress toward the sediment, total phosphorus, storage, soil health, forest, and groundwater goals established in the Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan (plan). Practices are targeted to the ?highest? priority catchments that were prioritized by sediment loading. Sediment is a priority issue within the WRMW plan. Projects targeted by this workplan are estimated to reduce 2,799 tons/year of sediment. Total phosphorus is also a priority issue in the WRM plan.
