EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Schaar’s Bluff at the Spring Lake Park Reserve Trailhead

Dakota County continues to be shaped by its natural resources. For centuries its soils, plants, and animals sustained native peoples and European settlers, and these natural resources are still important to the County’s 410,000 residents, many of whom farm and work in the County. The County’s original plant communities are now scarce and most of the remaining natural areas and surface waters have been `>“>}i`LÞ>`>Vi˜Ì`iÛiœ«“i˜Ì>˜`>}ÀˆVՏÌÕÀi]ˆ˜Û>ÈÛiëiVˆiÃ]>˜`ÃÕ««ÀiÃȜ˜œvÃÕÀv>ViwÀiÃp> natural disturbance that sustains many native ecosystems. The vast loss of natural areas and reduced quality of those that remain not only have environmental consequences, this also detracts from recreation, quality of life, and a sense of place.

Dakota County recognizes the importance of the natural resources represented by its vegetation, waters and wildlife.

To implement this system-wide plan, the County recognizes it will need to continue to pursue and secure state and other grants, capitalize on partnerships, collaborate with municipalities and other entities in the County, and commit additional internal County resources for staff, volunteer coordination, equipment, and external contractor work. Executing this plan requires an increase in funding above current levels (Figure ES-3 ,QWKHƓUVW\HDURI7LHULPSOHPHQWDWLRQFRVWVDUH higher than in following years.

Nearly entirely bounded by three large rivers, with a diverse landscape of hills, plains and bluffs, Dakota County continues to be shaped by its natural resources. The wide variety of plants and animals living here sustained the native peoples and early settlers. The fertile soils gave birth to a thriving agricultural tradition. Small communities became towns and cities. Its history is like much of the Midwest.

Most of the County’s 410,000 residents live in the urbanized over 6,700 acres of natural habitat.

 Lake Byllesby Regional Park (611 acres)

 Lebanon Hills Regional Park (1,874 acres) (Figure 2)

 Miesville Ravine Park Reserve (1,847 acres) (Figure 3)

 Spring Lake Park Reserve (1,160 acres) (Figure 4)

 Thompson County Park (58 acres)

 Whitetail Woods Regional Park (456 acres) Figure 4. The “natured-based” theme of the County park system is accentuated by scenic views, like this one from the bluffs of Spring Lake Park Reserve.

Park Designation Status Parks within the system have been designated differently, accord- ing to usage, resource status, and development expectations. Us- ing a combination of criteria from LCCMR, Metropolitan Council, and Dakota County, there are three types of parks in the County Park System: 1) Park Reserve, 2) Regional Park, and 3) County Park.

Regional Parks According to Metropolitan Council, Regional parks (RP) “should con- tain diverse natural resources and the ability to provide for a wide Figure 2. A skier is traversing an area known as “Buck Pond” in Lebanon Hills range of natural resource related recreational opportunities. Access Regional Park that is the site of a wetland and savanna restoration. to water bodies suitable for recreation is particularly important. A regional park should be large enough to accommodate a variety of activities, preserve a pleasant natural aspect and buffer activity areas from each other. Regional parks are 200 to 500 acres. Occa- sionally, because of the quality of the resource an exception may be made and a RP may be as small as 100 acres.” Three Regional Parks exist in Dakota County: Lebanon Hills, Whitetail Woods, and Lake Byllesby Regional Parks.

Park Reserves Park Reserves “are expected to provide a diversity of outdoor recre- ational activities. A reserve is also intended to provide, protect and manage representative areas of the original major landscape types in the metro area. Optimal size exceeds 2,000 acres, while the min- Figure 3.

1.2. REGIONAL GREENWAYS 1.3. CONSERVATION EASEMENTS Four regional greenways provide the backbone of a 200-mile multi-purpose, regional greenway system. According to the Met Council, Regional Trails “are intended to provide recreational travel along linear pathways.

The greenway system includes many separated natural areas that could be connected and enhanced, depending on greenway width. Functioning like a linear park, greenways could be designed to improve water quality and wildlife habitat. Properly designed and managed, they can avoid problems like spread of invasive plants and small animal fatalities. However, greenway management is complex and requires close collaboration among many munici- One of the Natural Areas Conservation Easements along the Vermillion River. palities and landowners. Limited restoration and natural resource management has occurred within some greenways. A thriving agricultural economy maintains the open, rural character of the County. Suburban growth, by contrast, shrinks natural areas and removes productive farmland. County leaders and citizens con- cerned about these trends that accelerated in the 1990s created the 2002 Dakota County Farmland and Natural Area Protection Plan ŏ3URWHFWLRQ 3ODQŐ  7KLV SODQ LGHQWLƓHG QHDUO\  DFUHV GH- serving protection; 30,000 acres of high quality natural areas and 46,000 acres of farmland and nearby natural areas within a half mile of rivers and streams. In 2003, citizens led a successful cam- paign to pass a $20 million bond referendum to provide funding to begin implementing the Farmland and Natural Areas Program (FNAP) and subsequently the more comprehensive Land Conser- vation Program.

Natural resources exist spontaneously in nature. They are divided into non-living natural resources (sunlight, air, water, metals, and minerals) and those that are alive (soil, vegetation, and animals). Some are abundant, like sunlight and air, while others are distributed unevenly (e.g., fresh water, certain animal «œ«Õ>̈œ˜Ã®]>˜`ܓi>ÀiœV>pÌ >̈Ã]À>Ài>˜`ÃV>ÌÌiÀi`]ÃÕV >Ã}œ`>˜`LÀœœŽÌÀœÕÌ° œÃ̘>ÌÕÀ> resources are local. Although some such as air and solar radiation are thought to be inexhaustible, the vast majority is limited and can be lost if overused or poorly managed.

Dakota County | Natural Resource Management System Plan 18 3.3. WATER RESOURCES As previously described, most of the County was under glacial ice until about 10,000 years ago. This created dramatically different landscapes consisting of outwash plains, hilly, lake-studded mo- raines, rocky outcrops in the southeast, and deep river valleys. Gla- ciers also bequeathed an abundance of water resources, from the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers and lakes in the north and east (Figure 6), to the Vermillion River that divides the County, and the many small trout streams to the south. In the north, the Mississippi River passes through a narrow gorge DQGWKHQEHFRPHVDZLGHŴRRGSODLQDQGEDFNZDWHUVIXUWKHUGRZQ- stream.

While those areas are wetlands, there are many different wetland types that may even be dry for most of the year. Some wetlands support trees and shrubs, and some may be farmed.

For example, the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) assists cities, townships and individual landowners to determine if an area is a wetland. SWCD staff also provides technical support and act as an information clearing-house for government and citizens who have questions about wetlands and water resources. Any project that would damage or destroy a wetland requires a permit from federal, state, and/or local agencies. Monitoring water quality to ensure that it meets the needs of Min- nesota’s citizens is an important function of state and local gov- ernment. The County has been monitoring wetlands through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) Wetland Health Eval- uation Program (WHEP). Since 1997, volunteers have monitored Figure 8.

Shallow lakes are ecologically different than deep lakes and, in general, have higher nutrient concentrations and lower water clarity. When a number of water samples over a period of time falls short of the MPCA stan- dard, a lake or stream is listed as “impaired” by the MPCA. Data to assess the County water resources have been collected for Eurasian watermilfoil photo: US Fish and Wildlife Service several years by various entities and have been included in other plans and on the MPCA and DNR web sites. These waters were mon- itored and assessed to determine if they met standards. Lake and stream testing has revealed that 23 of Dakota County’s lakes and 29 stream or river reaches have impairments.

Invasive Species Managing invasive plant species is a priority challenge. These harmful species often establish and thrive in disturbed habitats, usually crowding out native plants and animals. They typically have the following characteristics:

 Tolerant of a variety of habitat/environmental conditions

 Grow and reproduce rapidly, with good seed dispersion

 Compete aggressively for resources, such as nutrients, water, and (for plants) sunlight

 Lack natural enemies or effective competitors Invasive plants can induce low plant diversity, poor wildlife habitat and lessened resilience in the face of disturbances and environ- mental change. Controlling invasive plants is often the foundation of most ecological restoration and management efforts. Invasive animals (e.g., non-native earthworms) also have adverse effects. Some invasive species cannot be removed or cost-effectively con- trolled. In these cases, it is advisable to manage the effects of an invasive species, rather than try to eradicate it.

Natural resource management is focused on approaches that pro- mote and maintain healthy and long-lived ecosystems across large areas or “landscapes.” The composition, structure and function of these ecosystems may be similar to conditions of earlier ecosys- tems, but they often cannot be re-created because conditions have changed too much. Natural areas and vital habitats have been greatly reduced and largely fragmented. Key plant and animal species may be missing or not regionally viable. Natural processes VXFKDVƓUHDQGVHDVRQDOŴRRGLQJFDQQRWRFFXURUPD\EHOLPLWHG or suppressed. Rainfall patterns are different and changing. Exotic species have invaded (Figure 10). In the past, managers often based their goals on conditions exist- ing before the dramatic ecological changes that began occurring during the 1800s and early 1900s. The thinking was that those eco- systems, primarily due to the fact that they were largely intact, were resilient despite environmental change, had many different plants and animals (high biodiversity), and produced a variety of ecosys- tem services. Recognizing that those historical conditions were a moment in time, and conditions have greatly changed, managers today use that information to provide insights into what is possible, but may not be feasible given other considerations.

The important characteristics of natural resources in the County’s parks, greenways and easements were investigated in several ways. This information helped identify the important natural resource management topics to address in this NRMSP. The issues in turn shaped the principles and vision of the NRMSP and the contents of NRMP’s for individual parks, greenways, and easements.

The lake attracts a variety of uncommon birds—bald eagle, osprey, white pelican, and tundra swan; the latter two species form large rafts during migration. The lake is infested with Eurasian watermilfoil and zebra mussel. The 2011 Mississippi Makeover Implementation Plan provides implementation priorities for Spring Lake as well as chemical and biological targets to measure success of ecological restoration. The priority strategies included large-scale restoration efforts such as island building and water level management. This would require extensive planning, engineering, stakeholder involvement, and funding, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers being the lead agency and primary funding source.

Many other smaller lakes abound in the park system; often they are ephemeral, forming in spring and drying up in summer. These lakes are important for the ecology of the parks, especially for breeding areas for invertebrates and amphibians like frogs and salamanders, VLQFHWKH\DUHQRWSUHGDWHGXSRQE\ƓVK 7.6.2.

In discussions with the Technical Advisory Committee, the public, the Dakota County Planning Commission, and the County Board of Directors, the tiered approach to implementation seemed most useful.

www.mda.state.mn.us  >4 *'&)2%%'&*8$"-")*',)*2 &42#$2 Good Morning Joe, I really enjoyed reading the draft NRMSP document. There is a lot of great information and guidance that will help shape the future NRMPs and land stewardship actions. I know you put a lot of effort into this and should be commended for it. I had a few suggestions to offer. I thought the draft was bland and dated from a style and format perspective. The figures were hard to read in many instances. I suspect this will be improved with the conversion to InDesign. Some of the statements in the document seemed like they would have a reference. The list of references was extensive but for some of the interesting points made in the document I was looking to find out where they came from. Again, in a good way, I am interested in finding out more info on the topic. Take care, Jason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
