Pictured: This CREP easement near Mountain Lake features a trail and rain garden to increase environmental awareness. An MPCA Clean Water Partnership Project was completed by the Cottonwood SWCD, the city of Mountain Lake and the Lake Commission. Mountain Lake is the largest body of water in Cottonwood County. About 30 acres of critical area fi lter strip seeding was completed, and conservation easements were established through CREP on 72 acres of highly erodible land immediately upstream and adjacent to Mountain Lake. A storm sewer sediment removal plunge pool was added for the Mountain Lake municipal storm sewer. A 5.2-mile trail was built around the lake to increase environmental awareness, and a rain garden was constructed adjacent to the lake and trail. 103 easements totaling 3,317 acres of environmentally sensitive land were successfully enrolled in the Minnesota River Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program. These projects include: wetland restorations, fi lter and riparian buffer strips. All projects are now complete with a conservation cover of native trees, grasses and restored wetlands. Over 34,000 trees have been planted per year over the last fi ve years through the SWCD’s Tree Program. The Cottonwood SWCD has planted these trees to establish fi eld windbreaks, farmstead windbreaks, wildlife plantings, riparian buffers and living snow fences. Top 5 Natural Resource Concerns 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Cottonwood Soil & Water Conservation District Wellhead Protection Plans for drinking water supply wells have been completed with the SWCD’s participation in the development of the Red Rock Rural Water System, City of Jeffers and the City of Windom. Water quality concerns throughout Cottonwood County with a focus on the Des Moines River and Watonwan River Watersheds Residue Management Feedlot runoff and manure application Groundwater concerns as defi ned by the Drinking Water Supply Management Areas in Cottonwood County Soil loss countywide through sheet, rill and wind erosion Future Projects As of June 2006 the Cottonwood Soil and Water Conservation District has contracted with the Greater Blue Earth River Basin Alliance (GERBA) to allow Kay Clark and David Bucklin to assume the roles of Administrative Coordinator and Technical Coordinator for the Alliance. These positions will give the Cottonwood SWCD the opportunity to work closely with the SWCD and county staff in eight participating counties located in the basin. During 2007 GBERBA was awarded through the Clean Water Legacy $317,000 in loans and cost-share and $510,000 for technical assistance. Through this funding a Nutrient Management Specialist, Urban Outreach Specialist and a Conservation Agronomist were hired to work in areas of the watershed. Also, $379,000 was secured through the MPCA 319 grant process to hire a technician for the Big Cobb River Watershed and supply funding for cost-share and drainage system management. Work has continued with the completion of the Greater Blue Earth River Watershed Fecal Coliform TMDL Implementation Plan for submission to MPCA. 37
