Le Sueur River WRAPS Report

Document
Description
The goal of this Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategies (WRAPS) report is to summarize work done in this first application of the Watershed Approach in the Le Sueur River Watershed, which started in 2008. This work includes: water quality monitoring and assessment, pollutant and stressor identification, civic engagement/public participation, and restoration and protection strategy development. Ultimately, this work should be useful in local planning processes, which help guide conservation work within the watershed. The work summarized in this report represents one of the first applications of the Watershed Approach in the State of Minnesota. This work by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and local partners used the best available data and emphasized citizen engagement in new ways. While this work generally produced good results, the Watershed Approach allows us to use the lessons learned and new science and data to revisit, update, improve, and expand work in subsequent applications.
