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.

  • North Shore Periphyton [Attached Algae] Survey
    North Shore Periphyton [Attached Algae] Survey July 2003 Jeff Jasperson MPCA Summer Intern Surveyed Streams: Tischer Creek Amity Creek and Lower Lester River Talmadge River French River Knife River Encampment River Gooseberry River Brule River General Trends · Periphyton abundance was greatest in the two Duluth urban streams (Tischer, Amity), and was not observed in the most rural stream (Brule) · Despite a few exceptions, periphyton levels were lower in streams farther from Duluth · Sunlight appears to be the limiting factor for periphyton growth in streams near the Duluth area. Essentially wherever adequate sunlight hit these streams, periphyton was observed · As expected, rivers with more pristine watersheds had lower levels of periphyton · In some survey streams, especially Knife River and Amity and Tischer Creeks, there was a noticeable increase in periphyton abundance near bridges or heavily used roads · Both epipelon (growth on soft sediments) and epilithion (growth on stones) periphyton were observed. Epilithion forms were by far the most common in North Shore streams. · Streamflow seems to factor into periphyton growth in North Shore streams. Riffles with moderate flow were found to support periphyton communities more often than stagnant backwaters or side pools. Growths along fast-flowing, shallow waterfalls were frequent. Stream: Tischer Creek Location of Survey: Greysolon Street to London Rd. Overpass (Duluth) Date/Time: July 24, 2003 @ 1345 In a survey of Tischer Creek from London Road to the St. Marie Street bridge, abundant growths of periphyton were observed. Nearly every region of the stream within the survey range exhibited very noticeable growths, making it difficult to establish any clear periphyton trends for this particular stream.

The mission of the program is as follows: o To strengthen the Fish and Wildlife Service in its role as a primary source of information on national fish and wild- life resources, particularly in respect to environmental impact assessment. o To gather, analyze, and present information that will aid decisionmakers in the identification and resolution of problems associated with major changes in land and water use. o To provide better ecological information and evaluation for Department of the Interior development programs, such as those relatfng to energy development. Information developed by the Biological Services Program is intended for use in the planning and decisionmaking process to prevent or minimize the impact of development on fish and wildlife. Research activities and technlcal assistance services are based on an analysis of the issues, a determination of the decisionmakers involved and their informatlon needs, and an evaluation of the state of the art to identify information gaps and to determine priorities. This is a strategy that will ensure that the products produced and disseminated are timely and useful.

  • Rapid Watershed Assessment Baptism-Brule (MN) HUC: 04010101
    BAPTISM -BRULE WATERSHED (MN) HUC: 04010101 Rapid Watershed Assessment Baptism-Brule (MN) HUC: 04010101 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. BAPTISM -BRULE WATERSHED (MN) HUC: 04010101 Introduction The Baptism Brule 8-Digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) subbasin is located in the Northern Lakes and Forest ecoregion of Minnesota. This largely forested watershed is 1,019,923 acres in size. Approximately fourteen percent of the land in this HUC is privately owned, and the remainder is tribal, state, county, conservancy or federally owned land. Assessment estimates indicate 22 farms located in the watershed. Approximately eighty two percent of the operations are less than 180 acres in size, eighteen percent are from 180 to 1000 acres in size, and no farms in this HUC appear to be greater than 1000 acres.

  • Posted Boundaries and Fish Sanctuaries on Lake Superior Tributaries
    Division of Fish and Wildlife Section of Fisheries May 2020 Posted Boundaries and Fish Sanctuaries on Lake Superior Tributaries The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources-Section of Fisheries has established regulations and fish sanctuaries on Lake Superior tributaries to protect migratory fish species from Lake Superior, particularly native coaster Brook Trout, and also to extend fishing seasons for other species. Fish sanctuaries have permanent or seasonal closures (Minnesota administrative rule 6264.0500) to protect fish in vulnerable locations during spawning seasons and to restrict fishing near dams, fish traps and egg collection stations. Fish sanctuaries are marked by signs hung by cables, attached to natural features or on posts. Posted boundaries for areas covered by Lake Superior and below-boundary tributary regulations are marked by yellow signs posted near the stream at the upstream end of the boundary. Posted boundaries specify the location on a stream where fishing regulations change and generally correspond to areas accessible to fish migrating upstream from Lake Superior. When a stream has no impassible barrier, such as a waterfall, the posted boundary is marked at a road crossing or other landmark. Streams with a posted boundary at the stream mouth or Minnesota/Wisconsin state line will not have a physical sign posted. Regulations for below posted boundary areas are: Most people fishing Lake Superior or its tributaries will need a trout/salmon stamp validation in addition to a Minnesota angling license (see MNDNR fishing regulations). Many special possession limits and size restrictions apply for trout and salmon caught below the posted boundaries (see MNDNR fishing regulations).
