The insistent algal issues in Little Rock Lake is the worse known regionally, and is in the top 4% of the most polluted lakes in the state. An extreme blue-green algae bloom in 2007 produced toxin microcystin to the point that it became an acute public health risk around the lake and downstream to the residents of St. Cloud. The lake discharges directly into the Mississippi River, which is the source of drinking water for the communities of St. Cloud, Minneapolis, and St. Paul. Through this project we will reduce phosphorous, improved water clarity, and avoid contamination of drinking water for St. Cloud residents. We will achieve these results by continuing to target many of the similar BMPs that were successful with our 2015 and 2017 CWF grants. Those CWF grants resulted in implementation of over 70 BMPs in the watershed. Pollution reduction estimates, along with recent water quality monitoring suggest we may be approaching our local pollution reduction goals. BWSR calculators estimate we achieved 29% (2,340 pounds) of the TMDL phosphorous reduction goal and corresponding trophic state index values below 80. We estimate this grant will achieve another 5-10% reduction in phosphorous runoff. Our ranking and scoring methods have a tight focus, following the TMDL Implementation Plan. It is critical to continue capitalizing on our momentum and continue to make progress towards our water quality goals with this current effort. Our primary focus is targeting feedlot/livestock BMPs and Ag erosion control BMPs within the Zuleger Creek and Little Rock Creek North watersheds.

Centerville Lake does not meet MN State water quality standards, and suffers from frequent and occasionally intense algae blooms. Monitoring data indicate an increasing trend of phosphorus and chlorophyll-a annual summer means. A significant portion of the annual phosphorus load for Centerville Lake (40-50%, TMDL, 2013) is thought to be from Peltier Lake backflow. Although the TMDL provided an estimate of backflow nutrient loading as a model residual, a more precise understanding is necessary before considering costly management options. Backflow is thought to occur when Peltier Lake's surface elevation rises above Centerville Lake's after rain events due to Peltier Lake's much larger watershed and drawn out time of concentration. If Peltier Lake backflow into Centerville Lake is a problem that requires management (i.e. flow cutoff or reroute), flow rates and elevations are required for project design. Should the lakes be recommended for disconnection, there are two known potential options for maintaining outlet flows from Centerville Lake that, along with any other possible scenarios, need to be analyzed.

Necessary repairs include stabilization of streambanks and construction of best management practices to reduce flow velocities, substantially decreasing sediment and phosphorus delivery to Peltier Lake while improving in-channel habitat for fish and macroinvertebrates. This study would provide a detailed analysis of the extent and severity of the problems, recommend BMPs and engineered solutions, and establish expected resource benefit outcomes. 2) Highway 61 Ponds Improvement Scoping: RCWD operates a pair of wet ponds on Ramsey Washington Judicial Ditch 1 (RWJD1) in White Bear Township that provide sediment capture and general water quality treatment for flows to Bald Eagle Lake. These ponds were constructed in the early 1990's and have received little maintenance since that time. RCWD intends to complete maintenance of the outlet structure and removal of accumulated sediment in the very near future. While planning for this work, RCWD intends to complete this study to evaluate options for improvement of the function and efficiency of the existing facility through retrofit enhancements, expansion, or redesign. 3) Johanna Creek Carp Barrier: RCWD continues its work to reduce the viable population of common carp in the Long Lake - Lino Chain of Lakes system. Management of the primary spawning route through Rice Creek has been successful and monitoring has shown that carp are now migrating through Johanna Creek to a series of wetlands to spawn. Installation of a physical barrier here will effectively block access to this new spawning area and lead to improved water quality in Long Lake.

This effort will be in coordination with the CRSL partnership and the Morrison SWCD to secure habitat corridor easements that will action the goals of the State Wildlife Action Plan, local Landscape Stewardship Plan and the CRSL Strategic Plan.","Phase X will permanently protect approximately 1,421-acres and fund restoration and enhancement activities that will benefit fish, game, migratory bird, and forest habitat around the Ereaux and Little Nokasippi WMA's, Crow Wing County Forest, Lake Alexander Woods SNA, Pillsbury State Forest and the Camp Ripley State Game Refuge; all within the 5-mile radius of Camp Ripley, a priority focus area within Sentinel Landscape program area. This phase will secure approximately 29 permanent conservation Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) easements, utilizing partnerships with Camp Ripley, a State Game Refuge, the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and the Morrison Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD). Easement acquisition and habitat enhancement and restoration will occur in portions of Morrison, Crow Wing, and Cass County that lie within this 5-mile radius. Easement acquisition in this area will protect and buffer river, lake, and forest habitat corridors that are critical to the general public for fishing, hunting, and recreational opportunities. These habitat corridors and complexes are critical protection priorities for the State of Minnesota, MN National Guard (MNNG) and National Guard Bureau (NGB) and its mission to sustain military training of soldiers, our local economy, the National Mississippi River Flyway, and Mississippi Headwaters Board mission. Parcels are prioritized and targeted for high quality existing habitat, to protect corridors and large habitat complexes and to ensure reduced future fragmentation. Evaluation criteria include ecological and habitat factors for resident and migratory wildlife species. The target area has been limited to ensure a concentration of easement acquisitions that provide landscape scale benefits and will allow for protection of large forested parcels that are an imminent threat of conversion. The forested region of these three counties is where agriculture transitions to existing forested lands. Thousands of acres within and around this work area are being converted from forest to annual cropping, primarily for potato/corn production. Forests not only provide critical wildlife habitat for game and non-game species, but forests lessen the impact of water quality contamination from land use practices. This region of the state, most specifically Morrison County, is the fastest growing county in the state for the loss of grazing land to annual cropping. The loss of forests would exacerbate problems associated with conversion. Drinking water standards in the area are also in jeopardy with the increase in irrigation and large scale livestock operations, so protecting the forested lands has become a local and agency priority. In 2016, Camp Ripley was designated as a federal Sentinel Landscape one of seven in the nation. This designation by both State (2015) and Federal entities coordinates strategies to protect this landscape. Many agencies have identified their scope of priorities within the CRSL 10-mile boundary. The CRSL Army Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB) program has over 350 interested landowners on a waiting list for participation. To date OHF support of almost $15M has leveraged over $42.5M in federal dollars to protect over 30,0000 acres.",,2022-07-01,1970-01-01,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Shannon,Wettstein,"Morrison SWCD","16776 Heron Rd USDA Service Center","Little Falls",MN,56345,320-631-3553,shannon.wettstein@morrisonswcd.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/2022-camp-ripley-sentinel-landscape-acub-phase-x,,,,

",,"The purpose of this initiative was to protect fish, migratory birds, big game, and oak habitat along the Crow Wing, Gull, Nokasippi, and Mississippi Rivers via conservation easements. These river corridors are very vulnerable to habitat degradation due to the potential for development. The Camp Ripley military training center is located immediately adjacent to the confluence of the Crow Wing and Mississippi Rivers. Camp Ripley contains 19 miles of Mississippi River frontage and 8 miles of Crow Wing River frontage that provide habitat for many species including 45 Species of Greatest Conservation Need. This project built upon past Camp Ripley partnership success with the Army Compatible Use Buffer program (ACUB). This federal program provided funds to protect adjacent lands from encroaching development and in the process protects the training center, water quality and wildlife habitat. Fifteen easements were secured totaling 946 acres which was 130% over our gaol of 720 acres. The largest easement was 278 acres with two others that were approximately 100 acres. The average easement size was 63 acres. These parcels are primarily forested with some wetlands. As of this writing the ACUB program has protected over 25,000 acres through conservation easements and fee title including 204 RIM easements totaling over 22,000 acres. In 2014 alone BWSR leveraged $1,000,000 in National Guard Bureau and Department of Army ACUB funds for easement acquisition. As of this writing, during the life of the ACUB program, over $33,000,000 from National Guard Bureau and Department of Army funds have been directed to BWSR for easement acquisition.  Camp Ripley is home to one of the southern-most wolf populations in Minnesota and 65 species of Greatest Conservation Need including the state’s highest population of red shouldered hawks. Red-shouldered Hawks are forest dependent species and the parcels protected in this grant help to ensure that a viable population remains in the Camp Ripley area. Likewise, wolves in Minnesota, are primarily forest species and need rather large areas to maintain pack integrity and reduce competition with neighboring packs and humans. Again, these parcels help to protect this species.       This project utilized Camp Ripley’s partnerships with the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR),The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Morrison Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to solicit applications and to score and rank applications. The partnership uses a variety of methods to generate landowner interest and solicit applications including; mailings, open houses, direct contact with landowners and special Camp Ripley events. Applications are sorted into agricultural easements (Non-OHF) and riparian and forested lands easements (OHF). They are then scored and ranked against a GIS based system that ranks parcels based upon a number of factors including habitat quality and proximity to Camp Ripley. Applications are then funded in priority order from appropriate funding sources until all funds are used up. The application process is continuous and there is generally a considerable backlog of interested landowners at any specific point in time. Once a funding decision has been made Morrison SWCD and BWSR work together to accomplish the standard RIM easement acquisition process and the easement becomes part of the RIM portfolio.  ",2014-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Helen,McLennan,"Morrison SWCD","16776 Heron Rd ","Little Falls",MN,56345,"(320) 616-2479",helen.mclennan@mn.nacdnet.net,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Carlton, Cass, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, Morrison, St. Louis, Wadena","Forest Prairie Transition, Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/camp-ripley-partnership-phase-iv,,,,

",,"The project protected approximately 1070 acres of fish, game, migratory bird, and forest habitat along the Crow Wing and Mississippi River corridors via 14 permanent conservation easements. This project utilized the long-standing partnership between Camp Ripley, the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and the Morrison Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to implement natural resource management. These river corridors are important for fishing, hunting and recreation. In addition, the corridors are a high priority for protection locally and to the State of Minnesota,  MN National Guard (MN NG) and National Guard Bureau (NGB),  MN DNR fish surveys on the Crow Wing River (Staples to confluence of Mississippi) and Mississippi River (Brainerd to Little Falls) indicate high quality fish communities of walleye, muskellunge, and small-mouth bass.  Camp Ripley is also home to one of the southern-most wolf populations in Minnesota and 65 species of Greatest Conservation Need including the state’s highest population of red-shouldered hawks. The river corridors contain wildlife habitat and provide public recreation opportunities. Camp Ripley, along with the MN DNR, hosts the largest public archery hunt in the United States with over 5,000 participants. Additionally, Camp Ripley hosts other deer hunts, i.e. Disabled American Veterans (DAV), youth hunt, Deployed Soldier Archery, and Deployed Soldier Muzzleloader. A Deployed Soldier and DAV turkey hunt are also hosted along with a Trolling for the Troops fishing event. More than 13,000 hunting/angling person-days occur on Camp Ripley annually.  Camp Ripley also makes available to the general public access to over 1,800 acres for walk-in recreational activities to include hunting on Camp lands. The Crow Wing and Mississippi Rivers contain over 15 public access points from Staples to the confluence of Mississippi and from Brainerd to Little Falls respectively. This project will protect the current habitat along existing public access areas. Development along these corridors will have adverse effects to existing high quality wildlife habitat, local economies, and to the MN NG training program. Camp Ripley is located immediately adjacent to the confluence of the Crow Wing and Mississippi Rivers. Camp Ripley contains 18 miles of Mississippi River frontage and 8 miles of Crow Wing River frontage. Development adjacent to military training sites has limited the facilities’ ability to maintain their military mission. For example, the east shore of the Mississippi River has experienced high decibel levels due to weapon firing, and is also near the flight path of the Camp Ripley airfield. For that reason, the MN NG asked the partnership to focus on parcels directly adjacent to the Mississippi and Crow Wing Rivers to help reduce potential conflicts with homeowners. Camp Ripley is the largest employer in Morrison County.  The project built on the Camp Ripley partnership's success with the Army Compatible Use Buffer program (ACUB). This federal program provides funds to protect adjacent lands from encroaching development and in the process protects the training center. Since 2004, the partnership has secured over 300 easements on over 30,000 acres.  Easements that focus on forest, riparian and high value ecological habitat are funded through the OHF.  Easements that are primarily working agricultural lands and provide a direct buffer to Camp Ripley are funded through the Army Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB) program.  Although not directly leveraging funds on the same land or the same types of land, the overall project indirectly leverages federal and state funds.  Over $31 million dollars from the National Guard Bureau and Department of Army have been leveraged for landowner payments.  The program is a national leader in the Army Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB) program.

This effort will be in coordination with the CRSL partnership and the Morrison SWCD to secure habitat corridor easements that will action the goals of the State Wildlife Action Plan, local Landscape Stewardship Plan and the CRSL Strategic Plan.","Phase XI will permanently protect approximately 1,150-acres and fund restoration and enhancement activities that will benefit fish, game, migratory bird, and forest habitat around the Ereaux and Little Nokasippi WMA's, Crow Wing County Forest, Lake Alexander Woods SNA, Pillsbury State Forest and the Camp Ripley State Game Refuge; all within the 5-mile radius of Camp Ripley, a priority focus area within Sentinel Landscape program area. This phase will secure approximately 18 permanent conservation Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) easements, utilizing partnerships with Camp Ripley, a State Game Refuge, the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and the Morrison Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD). Easement acquisition and habitat enhancement and restoration will occur in portions of Morrison, Crow Wing, and Cass County that lie within this 5-mile radius. Easement acquisition in this area will protect and buffer river, lake, and forest habitat corridors that are critical to the general public for fishing, hunting, and recreational opportunities. These habitat corridors and complexes are critical protection priorities for the State of Minnesota, MN National Guard (MNNG) and National Guard Bureau (NGB) and its mission to sustain military training of soldiers, our local economy, the National Mississippi River Flyway, and Mississippi Headwaters Board mission. Parcels are prioritized and targeted for high quality existing habitat, to protect corridors and large habitat complexes and to ensure reduced future fragmentation. Evaluation criteria include ecological and habitat factors for resident and migratory wildlife species. The target area has been limited to ensure a concentration of easement acquisitions that provide landscape scale benefits and will allow for protection of large forested parcels that are an imminent threat of conversion. The forested region of these three counties is where agriculture transitions to existing forested lands. Thousands of acres within and around this work area are being converted from forest to annual cropping, primarily for potato/corn production. Forests not only provide critical wildlife habitat for game and non-game species, but forests lessen the impact of water quality contamination from land use practices. This region of the state, most specifically Morrison County, is the fastest growing county in the state for the loss of grazing land to annual cropping. The loss of forests would exacerbate problems associated with conversion. Drinking water standards in the area are also in jeopardy with the increase in irrigation and large scale livestock operations, so protecting the forested lands has become a local and agency priority. In 2016, Camp Ripley was designated as a federal Sentinel Landscape one of seven in the nation. This designation by both State (2015) and Federal entities coordinates strategies to protect this landscape. Many agencies have identified their scope of priorities within the CRSL 10-mile boundary. The CRSL Army Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB) program has over 350 interested landowners on a waiting list for participation.

This highly-used regional resource is home to the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve, the largest park in the Anoka County Parks system, tallying over 700,000 visits per year. Unfortunately, Centerville Lake experiences frequent and severe algae blooms, and needs assistance to meet state water quality standards and user expectations. The lake is listed as impaired for excess nutrients; average summer phosphorus and chlorophyll-a concentrations exceed the state standards by a factor of two. Facilities at the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve are often closed due to health concerns associated with blue-green algae blooms. Much work has been done over the past 15 years to diagnose and control nutrient loading. Following the completion of the TMDL study, multiple watershed phosphorus management projects were completed, including standard stormwater BMPs (e.g. raingardens, biofiltration basins, and wet ponds) and a significant stormwater reuse project. Despite these efforts, water clarity remains poor, and algae blooms continue. More recently, the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) completed a series of diagnostic studies to better understand the sources and magnitude of nutrient loads. These studies show that internal phosphorus loading - specifically, sediment-phosphorus release - is the primary nutrient source for Centerville Lake, and the primary driver of the severe algae blooms. The Rice Creek Watershed District is proposing to control internal phosphorus loading by inactivating sediment phosphorus with aluminum sulfate (alum). The proposed alum treatment targets the largest source of phosphorus to Centerville Lake, and is the most impactful and cost-effective tool available to restore water clarity in Centerville Lake. Factors that could negatively affect the longevity of the proposed alum treatment were assessed (i.e. common carp and watershed loading), and found to be negligible. The proposed project will provide control of sediment phosphorus release and result in attainment of state water quality standards. Most importantly, the proposed project will control nuisance algae blooms, restoring an important and highly-used regional resource.

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.

Projects will be identified in watershed plans developed through BWSR's One Watershed, One Plan program, in which local governments strategically set priorities for clean water and habitat, target implementation, and set measurable goals. BWSR currently distributes CWF dollars to partnerships with approved plans for water quality projects. By offering a more comprehensive funding package, BWSR aims to incentivize local partnerships to focus on more multi-benefit solutions that use the Legacy funds at their full potential.","A RIM easement program will be established for land protection priorities identified in comprehensive watershed management plans (""watershed plans"") developed through BWSR's One Watershed, One Plan (1W1P) program. Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) dollars will be strategically paired with CWF dollars for implementation that stacks habitat and water quality benefits in priority areas as identified by watershed-based partnerships of local and tribal governments. Through the 1W1P program, partnerships of soil and water conservation districts, counties, and watershed districts identify priorities for watershed protection and restoration, set measurable goals, and commit to targeted implementation actions (municipal and tribal governments may also participate in local planning). State agencies (BWSR, DNR, MDA, MDH, MPCA, EQB) are advisors in the planning process and partners in implementation. Watershed plans are comprehensive: they address water quality, water quantity, groundwater, drinking water, habitat, recreation, and more. Once BWSR approves a watershed plan, we grant dollars from the CWF for actions in the plan that address water quality concerns identified in the watershed plan. BWSR's vision is for this water quality funding to be stable and reliable for the life of the Legacy Fund. An important piece of this vision is to streamline the administrative burdens for local governments associated with applying for and reporting on grants while maintaining appropriate oversight of state funds. This allows implementers to spend more time doing what they do best: implementation. A BWSR RIM easement program dedicated for watershed plans would similarly reduce the number of individual proposals submitted to the LSOHC by local governments. Millions of dollars are spent on projects from both the CWF and the OHF that focus primarily on a singular set of goals: water quality or habitat. Resource professionals and fund managers know that while many of those projects have a primary purpose, they achieve multiple benefits to varying degrees. Managers of both funds have expressed a desire to be more intentional about spending Legacy funds to achieve habitat and water quality simultaneously. Furthermore, the state's current easement programs are limited - either to a specific resource type or focused geographic area. There is tremendous opportunity to do more strategic, multi-benefit work. Through this new RIM program, BWSR would offer a more comprehensive set of funding opportunities, and therefore support more holistic, comprehensive implementation. OHF dollars would allow partnerships to meet land protection goals to maintain and enhance terrestrial and aquatic habitats while simultaneously using CWF money to address water quality in the same sub-watersheds (where needed) with actions like agricultural and urban best management practices, septic system upgrades, well sealing, shoreland restoration, stream stabilization and connectivity fixes, and more. BWSR will establish a scoring and ranking system to evaluate easement requests from partnerships with approved watershed plans (we anticipate at least 30 approved plans by the time funding is available).

We would achieve this outcome by stabilizing stream banks and bluffs on Lower Rice Creek, reducing in-stream erosion and sediment delivery to Locke Lake, and improving in-stream habitat complexity for fish and invertebrates. We propose to construct a variety of stream stabilization practices, each selected to target the specific cause of the instability at individual sites. Eleven bank stabilization practices would be installed over a continuous 5400-foot reach in Lower Rice Creek. Bank stabilization practices would include vegetation restoration, tree and boulder resentment, and rock barbs with live-stakes. Diagnostic and feasibility studies for Locke Lake and Lower Rice Creek have shown that most of the sediment entering the lake is from unstable and eroding streambanks and bluffs along the Lower Rice Creek corridor. Stabilizing the streambanks was found to be the most feasible and cost-effective option for addressing the root cause of the problem. The eroding streambanks have been prioritized based on measured erosion rates, and the feasibility of conceptual designs have been selected to work towards meeting the sediment reduction goal of 80%. The stabilization practices proposed in this grant application are located in the top priority reach and will provide the biggest reduction of any on the reaches considered from restoration/stabilization.

This use is at risk from tens-of-thousands of old wells (residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial) that are unused and unsealed. These wells pose a significant health and safety hazard to Anoka County well water users by creating a direct, unmaintained conduit that can introduce contaminants (e.g. pesticides, nutrients, heavy metals, salts, hydrocarbons, and pathogens) into groundwater supplies. Moreover, the highly permeable surficial sands of the Anoka Sand Plain are believed to be a significant source of groundwater recharge for several of the major aquifers that supply the water needs throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. As such, protection of Metro Area groundwater supplies requires protection of Anoka County recharge areas. We're helping to solve this problem by using this grant to offer cost-share funds of 50-75% to incentivize landowners to hire MN Department of Health licensed well sealing contractors to seal unused wells. Due to the large-scope of the problem, we're proposing to prioritize and target well sealing cost-share promotion. Unused wells within Drinking Water Supply Management Areas (DWSMAs), those that are deep and intersect multiple aquifers, and those that have the earliest original installation date will be targeted. DWSMAs represents about 75% of all drinking water use in Anoka county and according to a recent Anoka County Public Health and Environmental Services (ACPHES) study, at least 2,354 properties in Anoka County DWSMAs are known to have a high potential of having an unused/unsealed well. Our goal is to seal up to 125 high priority unused wells, which we expect to abate about 5% of the problem within DWSMAs.

This is accomplished through permanent protection by establishing conservation practices via payments to farmers and agricultural landowners. Landowners enrolled in the federally-funded CRP for 14-15 years; CRP is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture-Farm Service Agency (USDA-FSA). It uses agricultural land for conservation benefits, rather than farming or ranching; The same land was also enrolled into a state-funded perpetual conservation easement through the Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) Reserve program, administered by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR). Private ownership continues and the land is permanently restored and enhanced for conservation benefits. The RIM payment rates were consistent throughout this appropriation but CRP annual rental rates fluctuated, so the state's contribution to the overall easement cost varied in reaction to the CRP rate. One of the largest easements funded in this project was a floodplain easement in Renville county (65-13-20-01). The total easement was 139.1 acres (69.5 acres funded with this project) and protects portions of the Minnesota River and Unnamed Stream (M-055-129.2-001) and the floodplain areas. This easement is adjacent to a 57.3 acre MN CREP easement funded with ML2016 RIM Buffers Phase VI and adjacent to Cold Springs Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Cedar Rock WMA: South East Unit, which is adjacent to Cedar Rock Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) and Cedar Rock WMA: North West Unit, is across the Minnesota River in Redwood County. These easements, WMAs, and SNA total 1,268+ acres of habitat.

",,"An expansion of wetland and prairie habitat through this program alleviates pressure on those species that are most sensitive to habitat changes occurring on the landscape. The project targeted wetlands and prairies, two of the three most important habitats used by the Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). Of the nearly 1200 known wildlife species in Minnesota, 292 species, or approximately one-fourth, are at risk because they are rare; their populations are declining due to loss of habitat. SGCN in the RIM Wetlands area include the Five-lined Skink, Blanding's Turtle, Two-spotted Skipper, Northern Pintail, American Black Duck, Grasshopper Sparrow, Upland Sandpiper, Sedge Wren, Dickcissel, and Western Grebe. In addition to the SGCN, the threatened or endangered species include the Dakota Skipper and Poweshiek Skipperling. Diverse vegetation, access to water resources, and protection from pesticides are important to Minnesota's native pollinator species. BWSR's native vegetation guidelines and pollinator initiative protect native pollinators. Complexes and corridors targeted through RIM Wetlands provide areas that are safe from pesticides and natural passageways for pollinators. Targeted pollinator species include the Monarch Butterfly and bee species. Prairie wetlands are important for migratory waterfowl. The Prairie Pothole region contains only about 10% of the waterfowl nesting habitat on the continent but it produces 70% of all North American waterfowl. The loss of Minnesota's prairie and wetland habitat in the prairie pothole region has led to the decline of many wildlife and plant species. RIM Wetlands has protected and restored this habitat over many years and continues to do this important work using CREP.","A total of 2,390 acres were affected: 0 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 2,390 in Easements, 0 in Enhance.",10746400,USDA-FSA-CRP,9750400,41900,,2.42,BWSR,"State Government","Under the CREP partnership with USDA, 28 easements were recorded on a total of 2,390 acres to restore previously drained wetlands and adjacent uplands.

Historically, buffer funding was used to expand basic water quality buffers into larger buffers. The focus of the funding has been modified in recent phases to include larger areas (floodplain scale) rather than the narrower areas traditionally thought of as riparian buffers.","Riparian corridors containing healthy buffer and floodplain areas contribute to clean water and, when done correctly, provide critical wildlife habitat and travel corridors. The MN Buffer Law requires a modest buffer area on roughly 50% of these riparian areas but does not follow technical design criteria, accommodate flooding issues, and allows continued disturbance of these areas not favorable to wildlife. By extending the smaller required buffer area, we can create significantly better wildlife habitat while achieving multiple benefits. This partnership program between Outdoor Heritage Fund, Clean Water Fund, and potentially Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), would establish permanent riparian areas that provide both critical water quality improvements and improved habitat.

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.

Eroding riverbanks contribute to the Mississippi River?s TSS impairment, Rum River?s near-listing for nutrients, and degrades aquatic habitat. This project was identified in a 2012 riverbank inventory along 16.2 miles of the Mississippi River. The site has diminished since that inventory and today ranks 8th highest for sediment loading amongst many other identified erosion sites. Riverbank stabilization will combine an armored toe and vegetated reinforced soil slope. These approaches are complimentary to the Rum River?s state recreational designation and surrounding parklands, while addressing the 35 ft tall slopes. The project will reduce pollutants by 128 tons of sediment and 128 pounds of phosphorus annually. Other benefits include aquatic life diversity and abundance, and improved drinking water. This project is immediately upstream of the Twin Cities drinking water intakes. As a secondary benefit, this project helps protect a highly visible historic site. Woodbury House, on the adjacent parcel, was built in 1857 and overlooks the rivers? confluence. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and includes a historic cobblestone trail located immediately above the project site. The city plans separately-funded measures to protect the historic features, but those measures rely on the riverbank first being stabilized.

These inventories identified 12,569 linear feet of river bank with severe to very severe erosion. Cumulatively, these sites contribute 10,368 tons of sediment annually to the river. Thanks to a FY 2017 Clean Water Fund grant we have begun to address active bank erosion throughout this stretch of river. A targeted mailing to 60 landowners of properties with severe erosion resulted in interest from over 30 landowners. Site visits confirmed the majority of properties need assistance with bank stabilization. The FY 2017 funding is estimated to assist up to five properties. Therefore, both significant stretches of erosion and landowner interest remain, warranting the pursuit of additional funding.

As of this writing, over the life of the ACUB program, over $33,000,000 in from National Guard Bureau and Department of Army funds have been directed to BWSR for easement acquisition.       This project utilized Camp Ripley’s partnerships with the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR),The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Morrison Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to solicit applications and to score and rank applications.The partnership uses a variety of methods to generate landowner interest and solicit applications including; mailings, open houses, direct contact with landowners and special Camp Ripley events. Applications are sorted into agricultural easements (Non-OHF) and riparian and forested lands easements (OHF). They are then scored and ranked against a GIS based system that ranks parcels based upon a number of factors including habitat quality and proximity to Camp Ripley. Applications are then funded in priority order from appropriate funding sources until all funds are used up. The application process is continuous and there is generally a considerable backlog of interested landowners at any specific point in time. Once a funding decision has been made Morrison SWCD and BWSR work together to accomplish the standard RIM easement acquisition process and the easement becomes part of the RIM portfolio.  Although there were no fee title projects that came to fruition during this appropriation the general process is that DNR, with the support of partners, negotiates directly with landowners that are in the approved boundaries for Wildlife Management Areas.

A needs assessment of the WCTSA identified an estimated 156 CNMPs that will be needed over a 3 year period. Of the 71 SWCD employees in the WCTSA, only 1 SWCD staff member is dedicated to nutrient management planning. Currently, there are approximately 1,450 miles of impaired stream and 132 impaired water bodies (covering 86,660 acres) in the WCTSA. This proposal will address this impairment by providing technical assistance for Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plans (CNMPs). A CNMP contains records of the current activities on a livestock operation, an evaluation of the existing environmental risks, and proposals to reduce the risk of negative impacts to the environment. A nutrient management plan is part of a CNMP. A completed CNMP will accelerate waste storage facility and feedlot BMPs by making farmers eligible for federal funding for implementation and the lack of technical assistance for CNMPs has slowed progress for implementation. This accelerated technical assistance will improve water quality through the implementation of BMPs. To accelerate this process, this grant will fund a Regional Planning Specialist (RPS) to address local resource concerns. The new position will be incorporated into the existing successful WCTSA conservation delivery partnership, which includes dedicated WCTSA engineering staff, local SWCD technical assistance, and NRCS partners. A CNMP and waste storage project would result in a significant reduction of phosphorus, nitrogen, and bacteria to these impaired waters and protect those waters that are not impaired. The RPS will work to eliminate the backlog and SWCD staff will receive training to ensure that a similar bottleneck does not return in future years doe to the need for accelerated technical assistance for CNMPs.
