Executive Summary The purpose of the Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) is to identify existing and potential water resource issues, create an implementation strategy for protection and foster positive land use management and sustainable development within the entire County in a way that is respectful of the resources. The LWMP is administered by the Isanti County Zoning Office with assistance from the Isanti Soil and Water Conservation District (ISWCD). Both agencies are committed to providing landowners with applicable information to assist them in making wise choices in land management and collectively protect the natural resources of Isanti County. Isanti County is aware that many local, state and federal agencies are involved with water resource restoration and protection. The intent of this plan is to reduce the duplication and eliminate gaps in implementation strategies aimed at the common goal of protecting, preserving and improving water resources in Isanti County. Additionally, the County is aware that there are several existing plans that address water resources within the county (i.e. Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategies/WRAPS and Storm Water Retrofit Assessments/SRAs). These existing plans will incorporate water quality monitoring and assessment, watershed analysis, civic engagement, planning, implementation, and measurable results to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the LWMP. The goal of this plan was to incorporate the high priority actions from said plans such that the actions to protect waters can be found in one location. The original LWMP

  • Caleb D. Dorr and the Early Minnesota Lumber Industry Rodney C
    Caleb D. Dorr and the Early Minnesota Lumber Industry Rodney C. Loehr OLDER RESIDENTS of Minneapolis remember Caleb D. Dorr as one who contributed substantially to the establishment and development of the lumber industry in Minnesota and whose career coincided with the period of extensive lumbering operations in the state. Al­ though the passing of the years and the decline of lumbering have tended to dim his memory, the story of his life can be reconstructed from fragments of information that have survived. Investigation shows that his interests and activities extended beyond the industry which made him wealthy, to the benefit both of his city and of his state. Dorr was born at East Great Works, now Bradley, in Penobscot County, Maine, on July 9,1824. His father, Charles M. Dorr, was a na­ tive of Massachusetts, and his mother, Ann Morse, came from Maine. Four years before Caleb's birth his father migrated into the Maine woods. Charles Dorr was a small farmer, but since the area near the Penobscot River was heavily timbered, he carried on some lumbering operations. Many other early Maine settlers were likewise part-time lumbermen, and it was no accident that the Minnesota pineries attracted so many Maineites. Besides Caleb, there were four children in the Dorr family. They grew up in moderate circumstances. Little is known of Dorr's early youth beyond the fact that his education was received in the village school during the winter months. But school days soon were over for Caleb. At the age of thirteen he was acquiring experience in lumber­ ing.

  • Dakota Portraits
    DAKOTA PORTRAITS INTRODUCTION These "Dakota Portraits," written by the Reverend Stephen R. Riggs in 1858, were published in the Minnesota Free Press of St. Peter at irregular intervals from January 27 to July 14, 1858. The newspaper itself was a weekly, edited by William C. Dodge, and appeared for the first time on May 27, 1857. With the issue of November 17, 1858, its publication was, for financial reasons, temporarily suspended. In April of the fol­ lowing year, however, the paper resumed publication under the name of the St. Peter Free Press and it continued to be issued until December 21 of that year, when the plant was destroyed by fire.1 The last issue in the file of the Minnesota Historical Society is dated December 7, 1859. Because of his long residence among the Dakota Indians, Riggs was peculiarly well fitted to describe their characteristics. The sketches are written from his own personal knowledge, and present a number of persons who are scarcely known apart from his account of them. The author was a Presbyterian missionary to the Sioux. He was born in Ohio in 1812, a descendant of " a long line of godly men, ministers of the gos­ pel and others," and received a good education at Jefferson College and Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny, Penn­ sylvania. After he was licensed as a preacher, he was sent by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to aid Dr. Thomas S. Williamson in his work with the Indians of the Northwest. Riggs and his wife arrived at Fort Snelling to begin their labors in June, 1837, and spent the summer with the Reverend Jedediah Stevens at Lake Harriet.

Introduction Historic and cultural resources are identified and evaluated by State Agencies for various reasons and in compliance with various federal laws and mandates. American Indian sacred places have often been misunderstood or identified without early and meaningful consultation with those communities which hold them as sacred. In Minnesota, State agencies, sometimes departments within each agency, may have a particular ‘best management’ policy for identifying historic and cultural resources. These policies have often not included discussions of sacred places or define the approach to be taken towards sacred sites within frameworks developed around the federal definition of Traditional Cultural Property (TCP) as outlined in National Register Bulletin 38.

    RUM (WAHKON ) WATE R SHED (MN) HUC: 07010207 Rapid Watershed Assessment Rum (Wahkon) River (MN) HUC: 07010207 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).

RUM (WAHKON ) WATE R SHED (MN) HUC: 07010207 Introduction The Rum (Wahkon) River 8-Digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) subbasin is located in Minnesota’s Northern Lakes and Forests Ecoregion and the North CentralHardwoods Forest Ecoregion. Approximately ninety one percent of the 997,060 acres in this HUC are privately owned. The remaining acres are owned by county, federal, state or tribal entities. Assessment estimates indicate 2,153 Farms in the watershed. Approximately sixty nine percent of the operations are less than 180 acres in size, twenty nine percent are from 180 to 1000 acres in size, and the remaining farms are greater than 1000 acres in size.
