Approximately 1,140 students from 14 different Scott County schools attended the event. The days included seven learning stations on environmental health, plants, soils, forestry, waters, wildlife and mosquito control. Cooperating agencies included: Mosquito Control, Scott County Environmental Health, CLIMB Theatre, USDA – Natural Resources Conservation Service, Scott County Master Gardener’s, City of Shakopee, MN Naturalist, DNR – Forestry, DNR – Waters, Scott County Natural Resources, Prior Lake/ Spring Lake Watershed District and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

Pictured: This streambank stabilization project repaired a water body that was sending 255 tons of soil through erosion each year into the Minnesota River. A streambank stabilization project was constructed on a DNR public watercourse in Belle Plaine Township that outlets directly into the Minnesota River. The site was unstable and hazardous to farming equipment; the banks were a vertical drop ranging up to 20 feet. This was causing a soil loss of about 255 tons per year and 400 pounds of phosphorus per year. The stream channel was stabilized through a series of six weir dams and rock chutes. The banks were reshaped, mulched, seeded to grasses to stabilize the side slopes. The contractor who completed the project was Jeff Klehr Construction, and the total project cost was $79,400. Cost-Share Funds were provided by a Metropolitan Environmental Partnership Grant and the Environmental Quality Incentive Program. The Scott SWCD hosts the NPEAP for the Metro area. In 2007 the Scott SWCD secured 13 contracts to establish conservation protection projects including six grade stabilization, seven streambank Scott Soil & Water Conservation District stabilization, one wetland restoration and one lakeshore stabilization project totaling funds of $56,500. In the past seven years the District has worked diligently to administer this program for the seven metro area districts. Top 5 Natural Resource Concerns 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Agricultural Land Management – Reduce soil erosion (sheet, rill, wind, gully and streambank) on agricultural land to recommended “T” value or below Surface Water Quality – Protect to the greatest extent possible, all surface and groundwater resources from soil erosion, sedimentation, nutrient and chemical contamination Storm Water/Flood Management – Encourage coordination between cities and township with implementation of the Scott WMO, Prior Lake Spring Lake WD, and Vermillion River WMO Comprehensive Water Resource Management rules, on developing lands, which address storm water and downstream assessment of water conveyance systems Wetland Management – Preserve, protect and enhance areas to improve water quality, prevent fl ooding and erosion from surface fl ows, protect fi sh and wildlife habitat and promote groundwater recharge Urban Land Development – Encourage the protection and preservation of prime and important farmland and the reduction of soil erosion (sheet, rill, wind, gully) from urban land disturbing activities Future Projects Massive slope failures in Spring of 2006 and 2007 have resulted in an estimated 560 tons of soil lost directly into Sand Creek. Unstable soils are the primary cause of the failure. The proposed corrective measures include stabilizing the hillside, re-constructing the hillside in geo-grid layers, and installing perimeter drains behind and under the project area. 147
