DOUGLAS COUNTY LWCD: LMI-St. Croix Headwaters Watershed Stewardship Project

Purpose

Douglas County Land & Water Conservation Department is sponsoring a multi-year project to implement the St. Croix Headwaters watershed plan. The project will fund a Watershed Stewardship Coordinator; coordinate project activities including a Watershed Advisory Panel, and implement shoreland health best practices throughout the watershed (i.e. southern Douglas and Bayfield Counties). Project deliverables include: 1) Headwaters Watershed Advisory Panel: participation and recommendations; 2) 5-year Action Plan; 3) Summary of watershed report/project tool dissemination and ordinance updates or changes; 4) Information and education summary or examples of products (e.g. brochures, powerpoint presentations) and workshops/events with detail on types and numbers of audiences reached; 5) Installed best practices, including rain gardens, runoff infiltration practices, fish sticks, shoreline restoration, land protection agreements, etc. These practices will be documented in a database or spreadsheet that includes property location and completed project photos; 6) Shoreline inventory database and maps that describe habitat status of selected lakes. This scope is intended to summarize the detailed project scope provided in the application and does not supersede those application tasks/deliverables. Data, records, and reports, including GIS-based maps and digital images, must be submitted to the Department in a format specified by the regional Lake Coordinator.
