Fishing Easements In cooperation with willing landowners, the DNR has established over 216 miles of public fishing easements along trout illustrations: Carlyn Iverson streams in southern and central Minnesota.

  • Zumbro River Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan
    Greater Zumbro River Watershed Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan Waterside Chats Summary Summary The Greater Zumbro River Watershed Partnership hosted “Waterside Chats” in three communities throughout the watershed in October and November 2019. Waterside Chats were held on October 24th, 2019 at the Zumbro Valley Recreation Club in Mantorville, November 7th, 2019 at the Community Center in Mazeppa and November 14th, 2019 at the Sportsman’s Club in Lake City. The public was asked to attend the Waterside Chats to learn about the issues that had been identified by local partners and to provide feedback with their local knowledge of the watershed. Each Waterside Chat began with an overview presentation by the local SWCD or County Staff which included a summary of the One Watershed, One Plan program and plan development process, a summary of what has been accomplished, and information on how the public can participate. Following the overview, Barr Engineering summarized the priority resources and issues that had been identified in local and state plans, studies, reports, state agency feedback, and resident surveys. Initial results of the prioritization of these issues identified by a survey of watershed residents and ranked by the policy committee, planning workgroup and technical advisory group was also shared to aid in the table conversations (see figure 1 below). Following the presentation, attendees were broken into small groups. Each small group discussed a series of questions to provide their input and feedback on the list of priority issues to be addressed in the 10-year scope of the plan. Comments were captured by a facilitator from the planning partnership, summarized, and reported out to the large group.

  • Executive Summary
    Executive Summary During its fifth full year of operations in fiscal year 2007-08, the N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) took on new challenges and continued to register fresh successes in meeting its goals of improving North Carolina’s environment while facilitating responsible economic growth for the state and its residents. EEP continued to collaborate with federal, state and local governments, contractors and willing landowners to provide goods and services, basing its work on a solid foundation of watershed plan- ning that goes beyond mere environmental permitting and compliance. The initiative also extended its record of carrying out its mission without a single transportation-project delay due to the lack of mitigation, helping to move forward more than $4.8 billion in transportation-infrastructure im- provements since becoming operational in 2003. Key developments in FY 2007-08 included: • Responding to changes to federal rules guiding aquatic-resource mitigation. Under the leadership of the Governor’s office, N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) and EEP petitioned the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, the U.S. Environ- mental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in late 2007 to promote in- lieu fee programs such as EEP as a method to providing third-party mitigation for public- and pri- vate-sector development. The new rule, which became effective in June of 2008, gave recognition to EEP’s unique national status and maintained ILFs as a viable option. The rule will require EEP to make operational adjustments and the details of these changes are being evaluated.

Streambanks could often be lined with trees, even changed in the Driftless Area, which led to reduced sediment losses when the adjacent areas were grassland. However, sketches by from the landscape. early visitors indicate no more than 20% of the streambanks were lined with trees.
