The Blue Earth River Basin needs to reduce fecal coliform from wastewater treatment facilities, rural household septic systems, livestock, wildlife and pets. Most livestock manure is used appropriately as a fertilizer and soil amendment, however the sheer volume of manure produced in the watershed means that runoff of even a very small percentage of what is applied may contaminate surface waters. The MN River Basin needs land use practices that reduce the amount of sediment and nutrients reaching the river. Installation of riparian buffers, streambank stabilization, water storage, surface tile intakes, and crop residue management help to reduce sediment transport. On farmland, conservation tillage and increased crop diversity including pasture can reduce sediment loss considerably. Crop nutrient management plans keep nitrogen and phosphorus out of waters, as do improvements in private and public wastewater treatment systems. In cities and developing areas, stormwater management and construction erosion control prevent sediment runoff. The Urban Outreach Specialist will also work directly with wellhead protection issues. Groundwater and drinking water source protection will be one of the focus areas of the position, those concerns are also directly impacted by the BMPs promoted through the remaining three staff positions.

To address this risk in the region, there needs to be an increase in the use of nitrogen best management practices and agronomic rates of nitrogen need to be fine-tuned to balance production with environmental degradation. In addition, potential point sources of nutrient contamination in groundwater need to be addressed wherever possible. This project will have three components that will address these needs. 1) This project will fund incentive payments for the use of nitrogen Best Management Practices (BMPs). Use of the University of Minnesota's BMPs for nitrogen fertilizer in the region is known to reduce the risk of nitrogen escaping the soils and into the drinking water supply of the area. Incentive payments will be given to promote the adoption of the University of Minnesota nitrogen rates to meet crop needs and for the use of split nitrogen applications at University of Minnesota rates. 2) This project will fund replicated on-farm nitrogen plots. These plots could be a nitrogen rate, timing, source or placement plot. These advanced plots provide producers with much needed local nitrogen fertilizer information that is connected to soil types and crop uptake needs in Southeastern Minnesota. These plots would be used to support the recommendations from the University of Minnesota and continue to show that the U of MN nitrogen recommended BMPs remain the most profitable for this area of Minnesota. 3) This project will use cost share funding for local well sealing. It is well known that unsealed wells are a direct conduit for contamination of groundwater.

This project will provide cost-share funds to landowners in vulnerable groundwater areas for the incorporation of nitrogen-scavenging cover crops in their crop rotation and to provide education related to nitrogen BMPs through field trials and Nutrient Management Plans. An anticipated 100 producers in highly vulnerable areas, will plant 3,000 acres of cover crops resulting in preventing potentially 19,800 lbs. of nitrate from leaching into groundwater. Through this grant producers will have an opportunity to conduct N rate strip trials, develop Nutrient Management Plans, reduce nitrogen rates and try split nitrogen application.

We plan to continue exploring ways in which statewide coverage of the canopy change analysis can feed into assessment of thresholds corresponding to varying levels of risk to water quality (WRAPS) and biodiversity (WHAF). A hydro-geomorphological risk model developed for the entire state will also be released along with appropriate guidance for its use in identifying and mitigating landscape risks through appropriate on-site BMP planning and implementation. The User's Guide is currently near completion. Two full seasons of data collected using the new data entry system are now available. This will allow GMP staff to complete a two-year report on watershed sample unit FMG implementation in early February of 2022. ","DNR completed intensive field monitoring on 75 timber harvest sites in ten targeted watersheds in northern and central Minnesota. Sampling was conducted proportionately to the number of timber harvests in each ownership class (County, Federal, Industry, NIPF, State, Tribal). We monitored water quality best management practice (BMP) and other sustainable forest management implementation. Lower private landowner participation and increased contracting costs resulted in a smaller than anticipated sample this year. During FY22, we further refined our new data entry system for GMP, utilizing ArcGIS Portal, Collector, and Survey123 for collection and storage of spatial and survey data related to monitored harvest sites. We also developed scripted data compilation and reporting methods using this new system. Analysis of data collected in recent years of monitoring has allowed us to begin looking for spatial trends in BMP implementation and to deliver outreach to improve those trends. Examples include identification of watersheds where placement of infrastructure on top of filter strips has been observed, use of erosion control practices, trends in riparian management zone use, leave tree and coarse woody debris retention, and rutting on roads skid trails and approaches.

Karst is defined as a landscape with depressions such as sinkholes caused by underground erosion that dissolves the limestone bedrock making this region home to one of the largest collections of freshwater springs in the United States and some of the best trout fishing in the Midwest. However, the hollow nature of the karst terrain also makes this region especially vulnerable to ground water contamination from bacteria and nutrients from livestock manure and sediment resulting from soil erosion. The Root, Whitewater, and adjacent watersheds have considerably more livestock than western portions of the region. Grazing livestock helps keep more land in perennial vegetation as either pasture or hay. Pasture and hay land have been shown to significantly reduce soil erosion rates (compared to row crops) and nutrient and bacteria runoff. Providing technical assistance to producers is one way to encourage them to adopt managed grazing practices that benefit water resources as well as their economic returns on marginal lands. Since 2009, 35 producers have received help with developing and implementing grazing management plans on 3000 acres. About 30 more producers have plans developed that are ready for implementation. Most of the funding for installing the grazing practices comes from the USDA Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Current EQIP contracts are paying over $850,000 to Root River producers. By extending the work area of the Grazing Specialist into the Whitewater and adjacent watersheds, crucial technical assistance will be available in the area with the greatest need for grazing information.

The City of Oronoco has been committed to protecting its groundwater and drinking water supply as City officials have worked over the past 50 years to secure funding for community wastewater and municipal water systems to serve the community. Oronoco is the largest unsewered community in the State of MN. In the summer of 2017, the City received funding from the State Legislature to complete a new wastewater study and alternatives analysis, and ultimately it was decided the community would build a new wastewater treatment plant. Oronoco secured placement on the Drinking Water Revolving Fund (DWRF) and the Clean Water Revolving Fund (CWRF) 2020 Intended Use Plan (IUP), completed an application for a Point Source Implementation Grant (PSIG) Funding and secured $24.027 M in project funding through the State of Minnesota's 2020 Bonding Bill. Residents of Oronoco historically depended on individual wells for their potable water needs. Many of these wells were constructed prior to State well code and some of them have elevated levels of nitrates and have history of bacterial contamination. The City of Oronoco constructed its own water supply, storage, and distribution system in 2009 / 2010. Oronoco's water system serves approximately 2/3 of the City including many of its existing residential and non-residential properties. These improvements were an important first step in eliminating existing well penetrations into the groundwater and providing residents with a safe drinking water and fire protection system. As part of this initial expansion, Olmsted SWCD and the City of Oronoco worked together to provide funding to seal ~50 wells. The current expansion of the water distribution system is proposed as part of the Wastewater System improvements to serve areas that are currently served with sewer but are not yet served by the water system. The water distribution system expansion will serve 129 additional parcels with municipal water. Parcels being served by the current water system expansion are illustrated by the blue diagonal hatch on the attached figure. The City of Oronoco will be able to provide water service to new customers that are located west of TH 52 (except for 1st Place SW) and along portions of 5th Street NW and 2nd Avenue SE and are scheduled to receive water on or before October 30, 2023. In order to do this, the City of Oronoco is requiring that residents of these parcels make their connection to the municipal water service and complete their well sealing within 12 months of the service connection becoming available to the property owner. In order to transition Oronoco residents to a safer and more dependable water supply, approximately 75 wells within the Oronoco Drinking Water Supply Management Areas (DWSMA) and sensitive groundwater vulnerability area will be sealed as part of this commitment. Each property owner who receives water service is required to extend the water service pipe from the curb stop (near the property line) to the existing pipe entering the home or business. Each property owner is also solely responsible for all costs to construct the water service pipe, completion of associated plumbing improvements, installation of a water meter, site restoration and private well abandonment. The grant funding will be utilized to provide cost-share to residents to help off-set the cost of private well abandonment.

Extensive subsurface drainage and open ditches are found throughout the counties in order to improve crop productivity. Glacial geology and steep topography make the loamy soils very prone to wind and water erosion. Surface water issues within this watershed are a historical priority concern of local leadership. Redwood-Cottonwood Rivers Control Area (RCRCA) was formed by these leaders in 1983 to address sedimentation, water quality, water quantity, and erosion issues. Past diagnostic studies and implementation plans for the Cottonwood River defined specific pollutants, processes affecting transport, and measures to reduce delivery. RCRCA authored a TMDL and implementation plan to address turbidity in 2008. Wenck Associates, Inc.

Evaluation and Outcome Plans. These RIM easements are a part of a comprehensive public-private partnership to establish and restore permanent conservation easements on riparian buffers to keep water on the land in order to decrease sediment, pollutant and nutrient transport, reduce hydrologic impacts to surface waters and increase infiltration for groundwater recharge. RIM easements are selected to meet local identified water quality goals within the larger scope of Minnesota's clean water efforts. The long-term evaluation of clean water fund projects will be monitored as part of the state's intensive watershed monitoring strategy. RIM easements are subject to ongoing inspection to ensure compliance for the duration of the easement in accordance with established guidelines. ",,,,,,,,,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources","State Government"," This program is a part of a comprehensive clean water strategy to prevent sediment and nutrients from entering our lakes, rivers, and streams; enhance fish and wildlife habitat; protect groundwater and wetlands. Specifically the Riparian Buffer Easement Program targets creating buffers on riparian lands adjacent to public waters, except wetlands. Through the Reinvest in Minnesota Program (RIM) and in partnership with Soil and Water Conservation Districts and private landowners, permanent conservation easements are purchased and buffers established. In 1986, the Reinvest in Minnesota Resources Act was enacted to restore certain marginal and environmental sensitive agricultural land to protect soil and water quality and support fish and wildlife habitat. Utilizing the RIM conservation easement program, conservation easements on riparian lands adjacent to public waters, are purchased. Lands that were targeted were new or existing USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts with cropping history. Participating landowners receive a payment to retire land in agricultural production and to establish permanent buffers of native vegetation that must be at least 50 feet where possible and no more than 100 feet.Buffer strips of native vegetation will be established on the above easement acres, all of which are adjacent to public waters. The program is targeted to critical CRP acres so these areas would be permanently protected instead of enrolled in short-term easements. These buffers slow and prevent sediment from entering lakes, rivers and streams, reduce hydrologic impacts to surface waters and increase infiltration for groundwater recharge. Minnesota currently has just over 200,000 acres of Conservation Reserve Program in buffer practices at various stages of their 10-15 year contracts, some soon to expire. The buffer initiative compliments other programs, both existing and yet to be developed, over the next 25 years. A statewide sign up began Dec. 1, 2009.

The planned 68 projects is 23% of the overall BMP goal of 292 BMPs over a two year period.","This project funded 68 agricultural best management practices and 1050 linear feet of streambank restoration resulting in 3727 tons/year of sediment and 42 pounds of nitrogen reduction in the Root River One Watershed One Plan planning boundary. The nitrogen reductions achieved are lower than proposed because of a discrepancy with estimators for proposed vs. actual outcomes; the partnership also found other funding to do practices with a primary benefit of nitrogen reduction. Funds paid for two livestock waste storage facilities and four well sealings. Funds also covered costs of implementation targeting using geographic information systems, outreach and education, and technical and engineering work on projects funded with federal dollars. Work was done in priority areas and addressed sediment loading and groundwater quality, which are both priorities in the Root River Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan. Work was completed with a one year extension due to staffing changes. Clean Water Funds provided leverage for the partnership to pursue and secure six additional grants totaling $400,000, from sources including the BWSR Drinking Water Protection and Fishers and Farmers.","achieved proposed measurable outcomes",609229,"LOCAL LEVERAGED FUNDS",1469533,104028,"Andy Kronebusch, Bill Rowekamp, Josh Elsing",5.337164751,"Winona SWCD","Local/Regional Government",,,"This grant will fund an expected 68 projects in 6 subwatersheds (headwaters of the Middle and South Branch Root River, headwaters of the Upper Iowa River, South Fork, Money Creek, Torkelson Creek and Crooked Creek) and match for the RCPP projects.

When these 60 gullies are stabilized, sediment loading within the watershed will be reduced by 3,300 tons/yr and total phosphorus will be reduced by 370 lbs/year. The total sediment reduction associated with this project is 32 percent of the 10,373 tons/yr goal set by the TMDL for the SBBR. The BRRWD is expected to receive federal National Water Quality Initiative (NWQI) funding in 2024 through the NRCS which will help to stretch funding to get more conservation on the ground. The focus will be on upland areas, away from the SBBR channel corridor, to improve water quality within the SBBR watershed. This project, the ""South Branch Buffalo River Watershed Restoration - Phase 2"", is the continuation of the ""South Branch Buffalo River Watershed Restoration"" which includes installation of 50 sediment BMPs as well as phase 1 and 2 of the ""South Branch Buffalo River Restoration"" projects, which include installation of 72 side inlets adjacent to the SBBR and approximately 9 miles of stream restoration. In total, combining the proposed project with previous efforts, the sediment loading within the watershed will be reduced by 8,500 tons/yr (82% of the 10,373 tons/yr goal set by the TMDL). In addition, this project continues an ongoing effort over the past decade to improve water quality, manage erosion, reduce sediment, and enhance natural resources throughout the watershed. The Stream Power Index (SPI) Tool and the Prioritize, Target, and Measure Application (PTMApp) have been used to determine areas of high concentrated flow within the SBBR watershed. Based on this analysis, sediment BMP locations were identified that should be stabilized to repair gullies and ensure a reduction of future erosion. Using information from the PTMApp analysis, the total sediment load from all 60 gullies is 3,300 tons/yr and the total phosphorus load is 370 lbs/yr. Each gully was also ranked from most sediment contributing to the least and grouped into High and Medium categories.

",,,,,,,,,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources","State Government"," This program is a part of a comprehensive clean water strategy to prevent sediment and nutrients from entering our lakes, rivers, and streams; enhance fish and wildlife habitat; protect groundwater and wetlands. Specifically the Wellhead Protection Conservation Easement program is targeted to protect drinking water through the Reinvest in Minnesota Program (RIM). In partnership with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and Soil and Water Conservation Districts, permanent conservation easements are purchased in areas where the vulnerability of the drinking water is designated as high or very high.In 1986, the Reinvest in Minnesota Resources Act was enacted to restore certain marginal and environmental sensitive agricultural land to protect soil and water quality and support fish and wildlife habitat.Utilizing the RIM conservation easement program, this program focused on converting agricultural land presently in production to native grasslands and wetlands in areas where the vulnerability of the drinking water is designated as high or very high by MDH.Restoring native grasslands within wellhead protection areas improves water quality by providing greater distance between drinking water sources and agricultural chemical use. Changing land use from agricultural production to restored grasslands and wetlands has produced dramatic, measurable improvements in drinking water quality.Lands that were targeted were new or existing USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts with cropping history. The easements funded under this program are permanent, whereas CRP easements are for 10-15 years. Participating landowners receive a payment to retire land in agricultural production and to establish buffers of native vegetation.Minnesota currently has just over 200,000 acres of Conservation Reserve Program easements in buffer practices at various stages of their 10-15 year contracts, some soon to expire. The drinking water and wellhead protection initiative compliments other programs, both existing and yet to be developed, over the next 25 years.

Additional goals are to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for impaired stream reaches and Rice Lake, which will be documented in a TMDL Report. The consultant will apply the existing calibrated and validated Zumbro River Watershed HSPF model to construct load duration curves to develop TMDLs. The contractor will deliver a technical memorandum documenting the sensitivity analyses, all of the modeling files in the form of a model package, as well as a draft and final TMDL report.
