Project Overview

In order to track progress of restoring and protecting water quality in the Nemadji watershed, surface water monitoring is needed.
The watershed has several impaired reaches including the Nemadji River, South Fork Nemadji River and Skunk Creek.
Impairments include total suspended sediment (TSS), total phosphorus (TP), and E.coli. Several best management practices (BMPs) were conducted in the last 10 years to improve these resources.
