A TMDL report and TMDL plan<br />
for the Otter Tail River has been developed<br />
by the SWCD and the <strong>Minnesota</strong> Pollution<br />
Control Agency (MPCA). Since 2002, SWCD<br />
and MPCA staff have monitored the water<br />
quality of the Otter Tail River, located in westcentral<br />
<strong>Minnesota</strong> with the mouth of the river at<br />
Breckenridge. The MPCA has listed the lower<br />
8.2 mile section of the Lower Otter Tail River<br />
as impaired for exceeding the turbidity standard<br />
for aquatic life. The SWCD will implement<br />
activities to reduce erosion, sedimentation,<br />
and turbidity with funds received from the<br />
Clean <strong>Water</strong> Legacy (CWL) program. CWL<br />
funds will be used in conjunction with existing<br />
state and federal conservation funds to install<br />
conservation practices that reduce erosion,<br />
sediment, and turbidity. All of these programs<br />
will be targeted in high-priority areas of the<br />
watershed where they will have the most<br />
benefi cial impact on the impaired reach of the<br />
Lower Otter Tail River itself.<br />
