A wetland restoration project was recently completed by SWCD staff in Red Lake Falls Township, Section 13. It is a 5-acre wetland mitigation site for the Ditch #10 Project in Red Lake County. The River Watch Program is geared toward providing high school students “hands-on” experience in water quality and quantity monitoring. The program helps educate students in several scientifi c areas such as chemistry, biology, geology, and hydrology. Another major benefi t of the program is the collection of meaningful natural resource data. Lafayette High School (pictured) and Red Lake County Central High School participate in the River Watch Program in Red Lake County. Top 5 Natural Resource Concerns 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Red Lake Soil & Water Conservation District The city of Red Lake Falls is working on developing additional lots within the city limits. The Red Lake County SWCD has assisted the city with wetland mitigation planning. Also, the SWCD will be assisting the city with a future city park within the development area. Flooding Erosion Control Surface Water Quality Ground Water Quality Drainage Maintenance Future Projects Red River Corridor Enhancement Project -- Red Lake County SWCD will begin to participate with the Red River Corridor Enhancement Project. This project aims to protect and restore the river’s natural corridor to enhance water quality and fi sh and wildlife habitat that will provide for educational, recreational and economic opportunities. The specifi c goal resulting from the SWCD’s most recent efforts is to produce culturally and environmentally sensitive planning and design documents for boat access points, city and county parkland and trails, and a geographic information system focusing on a 5-mile-wide corridor from Lower Red Lake to East Grand Forks. Other projects include: Updating the Red Lake County Comprehensive Local Water Management Plan. Assisting the USDA Natural Resources Conservation District (NRCS) with surveying and design work on several Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) projects in the future. Continuing to assist the City of Red Lake Falls with its city development project. 133
