POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY Water Quality Division MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Minnesota State Archives POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY Water Quality Division An Inventory of Its Water Quality Reports OVERVIEW OF THE RECORDS Agency: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Division of Water Quality. Series Title: Water quality reports, Dates: 1927-1983. Abstract: Reports of stream pollution investigations, sewage field investigations, and studies of the quality of river water. Quantity: 7.5 cu. ft. (8 boxes) Location: See Volume/Folder List for box locations. SCOPE AND CONTENTS OF THE RECORDS Typed, near-print, and printed reports of stream pollution investigations, sewage field investigations, and studies of the quality of river water, prepared by the Environmental Sanitation Division and the Water Pollution Control Section of the Minnesota Department of Health until about mid-1967, and thereafter by the Water Quality Division of the Pollution Control Agency. Many of the reports contain photographs documenting the studies. Also included are a report on sewage problems in Albany Village (1956) and at the American Crystal Sugar Company refinery in Moorhead, Minnesota (1951). ORGANIZATION OF THE RECORDS These records are organized into the following sections: Stream Pollution Investigation Reports, 1927-1948. Volumes A-C. Stream Pollution Memoranda, 1930-1960. Volume D. Sewage Field Investigation Reports, 1945-1979. Volumes 1-37, plus some unbound reports. River Survey Investigations, 1929-1949, 1979-1983. Volumes 39-48. pca004.inv POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY.

Accession Information: Accession number(s): 978-87; 986-111 Processing Information: Appraisal statement: Most of these reports were microfilmed by the agency. The originals were transferred to State Archives due to poor legibility of many original pages, the presence of photographs, and subsequent interfilings or replacements with better-quality copies. Primary value to both agency and other users is informational, providing data on water quality for future consultation or comparison. Retention and disposition: Retained in agency until microfilmed.

Visit our website for more information. MPCA reports are printed on 100% post- consumer recycled content paper manufactured without chlorine or chlorine derivatives. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 520 Lafayette Road North | Saint Paul, MN 55155-4194 | www.pca.state.mn.us | 651-296-6300 Toll free 800-657-3864 | TTY 651-282-5332 This report is available in alternative formats upon request, and online at www.pca.state.mn.us . Document number: wq-s1-71 1 Summary Long-term trend analysis of seven different water pollutants measured at 80 locations across Minnesota for more than 30 years shows consistent reductions in five pollutants, but consistent increases in two pollutants. Concentrations of total suspended solids, phosphorus, ammonia, biochemical oxygen demand, and bacteria have significantly decreased, but nitrate and chloride concentrations have risen, according to data from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) “Milestone” monitoring network. Recent, shorter-term trends are consistent with this pattern, but are less pronounced. Pollutant concentrations show distinct regional differences, with a general pattern across the state of lower levels in the northeast to higher levels in the southwest. These trends reflect both the successes of cleaning up municipal and industrial pollutant discharges during this period, and the continuing challenge of controlling the more diffuse “nonpoint” polluted runoff sources and the impacts of increased water volumes from artificial drainage practices.

    DES MOINES HEA D WATERS (MN) HUC: 07100001 Rapid Watershed Assessment Des Moines Headwaters (MN) HUC: 07100001 Rapid watershed assessments provide initial estimates of where conservation investments would best address the concerns of landowners, conservation districts, and other community organizations and stakeholders. These assessments help land–owners and local leaders set priorities and determine the best actions to achieve their goals. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, and marital or family status. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA’s TARGET Center at 202-720-2600 (voice and TDD). To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, Room 326W, Whitten Building, 14th and Independence Avenue, SW, Washington DC 20250-9410, or call 1 (202) 720-5964 (voice and TDD). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
