Introduction Watershed Achievements Report 2015 Tracking progress The Watershed Pollutant Load Monitoring Network is designed to obtain spatial and temporal pollutant load information from Minnesota’s rivers and streams and track water quality trends. This long-term program utilizes state and federal agencies, universities, local partners and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency staff to collect water quality and flow data to calculate pollutant loads. Monitoring sites span three ranges of scale: • Basin – major river main stem sites along the Mississippi, Minnesota, Rainy, Red, and St Croix rivers • Major Watershed – tributaries draining to major rivers with an average drainage area of 1,350 square miles (8 digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) scales) • Subwatershed – major branches or nodes within major watersheds with average drainage areas of approximately 300-500 square miles Most installations occurred in 2008 and 2009, all sites were installed by the end of 2010 and intensive sampling began the year following installation. (To compute a discharge for new stations protocols require two years of discharge measurements for a rating curve.) Minnesota Pollution Control Agency www.pca.state.mn.us 14
