Bevens Creek Turbidity Implementation Plan

The state agency responsible for listing waters in Minnesota is the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). In 2002, the MPCA added Bevens Creek to Minnesota's 303(d) list of impaired waters for an impairment of aquatic life due to turbidity levels in exceedance of the water quality target of 25 nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs) for Class 2B waters. A TMDL study was conducted by Carver County Water Management Organization (CCWMO) and approved by the Environmental Pollution Control Agency (EPA) in September 2012. This Implementation Plan includes measures to help achieve the goals that are outlined in the Bevens Creek Turbidity TMDL.
