The RVS occurred in two phases, with hard-surfaced roads surveyed in 2016 and gravel roads driven in 2017. Level B and C roads were not included, with only a few exceptions. The field component was completed in early September 2017. This final report contains information and conclusions based on both phases. The survey began on July 25, 2016, with training on GPS equipment.

Norvitch ABSTRACT The alluvial channel deposits described in this report are in Nobles County, Minn., about 150 miles southwest of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Although four municipalities and many farms obtain part or all of their water needs from the alluvium, it has not yet been fully developed for ground water. The extent of the alluvial channel deposits was mapped on high-altitude aerial photographs, and a power auger was used to bore 43 test holes to determine the thickness of alluvium and the water level at each of the test sites.

  • 1 Introduction Ging Dams and Intense Storms Awith Subsequent Floods Have Led to at Least Ten Structural Failures at Iowa Dams in the Past Three Years
    11 Introduction ging dams and intense storms Awith subsequent floods have led to at least ten structural failures at Iowa dams in the past three years. This presents serious challenges, but also provides a chance to correct a legacy of problems not anticipated three to four generations ago when many small dams were constructed. New frameworks for low-head dam mitigation provide exciting opportunities to usher in a new legacy of enjoyment, respect, and care for the navigable waters of Iowa. Solving Dam Problems: Iowa’s 2010 Plan for Dam Mitigation provides an updated inventory, new naturalistic approaches to enhance rivers in dam mitigation projects, perspectives on flood reduction, and cost effective methods of reducing deaths at dams. 5 companion documents to this plan were 1a. The Role of Iowa’s 2010 developed: 1. A fully illustrated manual Develop- Plan for Dam Mitigation ing Water Trails in Iowa for water trails developers, in cluding planning guid- ance, standardized signage design, and incorporation of stream restoration and stormwater management concepts in ac- cess construction. 2. The state water trails plan Iowa Water Trails: Connecting People, Water and Resources, documenting the historic and present day importance of Iowa’s In 2008, the Iowa Department of Natural navigable waters, with comparisons of Resources was instructed to develop state- relevant data and strategies for adding wide plans for the newly formed water trails value to Iowa’s system. low-head dam public hazard programs.

  • Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) Board Meeting December 18, 2019
    NEW BUSINESS 1. 2020 Proposed Board Meeting Schedule – Meeting dates are being proposed for board meetings in 2020. Most meetings are the fourth Wednesday of the month, unless otherwise noted. The proposed calendar has meetings held in the same months as the 2019 calendar. DECISION ITEM 2. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Impaired Waters List – Minnesota’s impaired waters list was updated last month. The MPCA added 581 new water bodies with 728 new impairments to the list. The list totals 5,774 impairments in 3,416 different bodies of water.

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.
