10-Year Watershed Management Plan Approved

Posted by PLSLWD Staff - July 17, 2020 - News, Prior Lake, Spring Lake

The District’s Board of Managers officially approved the 2020 Water Resources Management Plan at their July 14 Board meeting. This wraps up nearly two years of work to lay out the District’s road map for the next ten years.

The 2020 Water Resources Management Plan will guide District activities from 2020-2029, providing a road map for the next 10 years and outlining all of the District’s activities, programs and projects for the next decade.

The Water Resource Management Plan is required by state statute and sets the goals, policies, programs and projects for protecting the water resources within the watershed district. Watershed districts are required to adopt and periodically update their Water Resource Management Plans. The previous PLSLWD plan was for 2010-2019.

The full 2020 plan and it’s appendices can be viewed on our website here.

The Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District (PLSLWD) will be conducting the first of three community meetings to gather input from residents to identify their water resource priorities, issues and concerns on October 4th at Prior Lake City Hall. This information will be used to develop the PLSLWD’s blueprint of projects and programs for the next ten years, the District’s “2020-2029 Water Resources Management Plan.” The current plan, which expires at the end of 2019, identified over 60 projects and programs that were designed to address the five fundamental goals of the District.

Refreshments will be served at Thursday’s meeting, which will begin with a brief introduction to the planning process at 6:45 pm. Residents will then be invited to provide input on five key topics:

Water quality
Flood reduction
Recreation & wildlife habitat
Land uses of concern
Groundwater
