SWCD Board of Supervisors<br />
The SWCD is conducting a TMDL<br />
for Little Rock Creek in Benton and Morrison<br />
Counties, which has a biological impairment for<br />
its fi shery. The Benton SWCD has partnered with<br />
the MPCA and several other agencies to conduct<br />
a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study<br />
which will identify the cause and solutions to the<br />
trout and warm water fi shery problems. We are<br />
currently in phase two of a three phase process<br />
to complete the TMDL. Phase two includes<br />
gathering physical, chemical and biological data<br />
from the stream and watershed. This information<br />
will be used by technical experts, a consultant<br />
and stakeholders in the community to identify<br />
the cause of the impairment. The SWCD is<br />
nearing the end of the data collection part of<br />
phase two and has started meeting with the<br />
technical experts and stakeholders to identify<br />
the causes of the impairment. When the causes<br />
of the impairment are identifi ed, phase three<br />
will identify load allocations and develop<br />
an implementation plan for correcting the<br />
impairment.<br />
