Monitoring via Major Watersheds
20082008 20092009 20102010
Load MonitoringAnnually at major watershed “pour points”
Biological/Physical Monitoring
Intensive stream monitoring on a ten-year cycle, by watershed
Lake MonitoringFocus on lakes >500 ac, smaller “representative”lakes, ten-year cycle

Rotating Through the Major Watersheds on a Ten Year Cycle

Provides “system and structure” for implementation of the Lake Pepin TMDL.
Brings focus to a “local” levelProvides a scale individuals can relate to and get involved inDefines the time scale as 10 year increments.Nested system that can be added up to the whole.Establishes the System that ties monitoring, planning, implementation, into an adaptive management cycle that will allow us to measure results and track accountability
Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment
Historic vote to dedicate ~$5.5B over 25 years to protect Water and Land
1/3 to Clean Water Fund ~$80-90m/yr
Purpose of the Clean Water Fundto protect, enhance, and restore water quality of lakes, rivers, streams and groundwater, with at least 5% of the fund spent to protect drinking water sources
Must supplement traditional funding, and may not substitute for that funding
Legislative allocation of the Clean Water Fund
