Feedlot upgrade project Groundhouse River The SWCD has a very strong working relationship with the local Watershed Management Organization. The partnership has enabled the two organizations to leverage funds for the implementation of conservation projects, including surface water monitoring and educational programs. Ten recent projects that were completed through this partnership accomplished the following pollution reduction estimates: • • • • Filter strip Stacking slab Pictured: This feedlot upgrade project borders the Groundhouse River. Good participation for the Ag BMP Loan Program has enabled the SWCD to complete many septic system upgrades and other projects, purchase conservation equipment and install conservation practices. 85 tons/year of soil loss reduction 106 pounds/year of phosphorus reduction 6,174 pounds/year of chemical oxygen demand reduction 1,661 lineal feet of streambank and lakeshore protection from erosion Kanabec SWCD has been cooperating on an impaired waters study for the Groundhouse River watershed, called a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). This study is in the process of being completed in cooperation with the MPCA, Dept. of Natural Resources, Private Consultant, Snake River Watershed Management Board and Kanabec County. A new TMDL study will also begin for the Ann River Watershed in the near future. The SWCD has worked well with Kanabec County to implement the Wetland Conservation Act and Kanabec Soil & Water Conservation District to develop and implement the county’s Comprehensive Local Water Management plan. A reforestation pilot program is underway through the SWCD’s involvement with the DNR Forest Stewardship Program. The SWCD, along with the Minnesota Forest Resources Council and the East Central Landscape Committee, promotes reforestation and provides technical and fi nancial assistance to landowners in a changing and declining forest landscape. Top 5 Natural Resource Concerns 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Protecting surface and groundwater quality near lakes, streams and wetlands, by implementing conservation practices and providing technical assistance Streambank and lakeshore protection and stabilization Feedlot runoff control and nutrient management Well sealing and abandonment Ag. BMP Loan program Future Projects Ann Lake erosion control project: The SWCD received a Special Projects Grant from the Board of Water and Soil Resources for a “cooperative erosion control and runoff project” to improve the water quality of Ann Lake in Kanabec County. The project partners include the local Sportmen’s Club, private landowners, a business, DNR Trails and Waterways, and the County Highway Department. This is a very visible project to the public. The project includes improvements to the DNR public access and adjoining lands. Floodplain erosion control project: The SWCD is working with a local township, Kanabec County, a private consultant, and landowners to control erosion and runoff in a fl oodplain area. The project will help protect a township road and stabilize the river banks of an impaired stream. 67
