Coon Creek Watershed District Stressor Identification Report

Coon Creek Watershed District Stressor Identification Report

2014

This Stressor Identification report evaluates stressors that are the likely cause(s) of aquatic life and aquatic recreation impairments for the Coon Creek Watershed District in Anoka County, Minnesota. This report covers four impaired reaches: Coon Creek, Sand Creek, Pleasure Creek, and Springbrook Creek. This report details steps taken using the United States Environmental Protection Agency's and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCAs) Stressor Identification guidance as well as the US EPA's Causal Analysis/Diagnosis Decision Information System (CADDIS). CADDIS is a methodology for conducting a stepwise analysis of candidate causes of impairment. CADDIS characterizes the potential relationships between candidate causes and stressors and identifies the probable stressors based on the strength of evidence from available data.
