The Chicano Latino Affairs Council and the Humanities Center will build on the grant received last year, which was intended to identify the elements of success in programs for Latino high school students and ways to replicate them.
The effectiveness of rain gardens to improve the quality of impaired waters will be evaluated for three citizen-organizing approaches and residential test areas around Powderhorn Lake in Minneapolis.
Great River Energy (GRE) operates a power plant in the City of Elk River which generates electricity by incinerating municipal solid wastes. The plant is located proximate to the City of Elk River wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). This project will result in a corresponding reduction of groundwater use by GRE.
The primary objective of this workplan is to demonstrate the ability of the City of Paynesville to meet the current and future wastewater treatment needs and achieve beneficial use of wastewater effluent, to replace the use of groundwater.
The Clay County Drainage Site is designed to evaluate the environmental impact of both surface and subsurface drainage from agricultural fields. This site includes six subsurface plots and one surface runoff plot, each approximately 24 acres in size. Monitoring stations are fully automated and each individual plot is monitored separately.

This project will analyze the impact of conservation drainage practices on water quality. Samples will be collected from subsurface tile drainage. The fields used in this study are located adjacent to Elm Creek within Martin County, Minnesota. This creek is currently listed as impaired for turbidity, fecal coliform, and fish index of biological integrity.
