One of the goals in Iron County's Land and Water Resource Management Plan is to develop a long-term strategy to improve the quality of Iron County lakes and streams. Within this goal, there are multiple objectives and activities related to assessing shoreland health, correcting erosion and habitat degradation both in the littoral and riparian areas along lakes and rivers.

Iron County Land and Water Conservation Dept is sponsoring a lake protection grant to monitor shorelands and begin implementing shoreland improvement and stormwater reduction projects in Iron County. Project activities include: 1) Perform 10 shoreland surveys; 2) Conduct social attitude assessment; 3) Assist regional DNR in accomplishing work plan objectives; 4) Perform shoreland information and education activities; 5) Provide technical assistance; 6) Initiate shoreland improvement and stormwater reduction projects; 7) Help fund part of the FTE Lakes Specialist position; 8) Develop annual and final report.
