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.

  • Archive-History-Redeemer-Rudd.Pdf
    A R C H I V E S I O W A D I S T R I C T E A S T A History of Redeemer Lutheran—Rudd, Iowa It all started when someone contacted the LCMS—Iowa District East office to find out what information our church had on the existence of a Lutheran congregation in Rudd, Floyd County, Iowa. Going through the files in the IDE Archives, the folder about Rudd had hardly anything in it. So the archivist began searching other IDE records, contacted the ELCA Archives in Dubuque, and made a visit to Rudd to come up with an answer for the person making the inquiry. Out of the information gathered, this is now an attempt to put together a brief history of the congregation that is no longer in existence; known as Redeemer Lutheran Church at the time it was disbanded. It had its beginnings in the 1850s and ceased to exist around 1969. Time Before the Church While European setters were working their way westward from the east coast of early America, there were people already moving around on the land we today call Iowa. In a manner of speaking, their map of the region had its own counties. Unlike the Iowa of our time, with its 99 demarcated counties, the Indian Nations saw this land between the Mississippi and the Missouri Rivers as a land occupied by five people groups: Dakota Sioux, Illini, Ioway, Missouria, and Otoe. Each nation had its own village centers and the vast open spaces were their hunting grounds to provide food for their people.1 As European settlers continued to push further west, the Indian Nations before them either resisted, or moved out of the way.
