Administration of AgBMP loan program, provide public info on website, disseminate resources info to landowners (LiDAR/ArcMap etc), rainfall monitoring, DNR permit review, DNR groundwater observation well monitoring, etc. Implementation of locally targeted and WRAPS BMPs: Implementation funds are critical to both protect and improve the quality of water being discharged into tributaries of the Rum. WRAPS data is being collected Existing local SWCD understanding of primary stressors on water quality of the Rum Report created on:3/15/17 Page 2 of 8
3 River watershed headwaters are caused by storm event runoff laden with sediment, nutrients or bacteria. As the headwaters region of the watershed, tributaries are likely to be susceptible to greater stressors than the main stem where dilution aids in maintaining a high water quality rating. Perennial tributary streams, as well as public and private drainage systems, road ditches and ephemeral streams however can be inundated by sediment and nutrients. Sediment and nutrient contributions to the main stem cumulatively impact the quality of water received downstream in the watershed where the implementation of BMPs can be more difficult and expensive to implement due to existing development and population densities. Activity Category Agricultural Practices Capital Improvement Project? No Source of State Contribution BWSR Clean Water Fund - Estimated # of FTEs Projects and Practices Total Requested Biennial State Contribution $100, Estimated Number of Practices 4 Estimated Leveraged Funds $25, Plan Type County Comprehensive Local Projects & Activities Budget $125, Action or Objective (from plan) Priority 2.B Work with land regardless of land use to BMPs identified through FY through the WRAPS and work by the SWCD Ag Outreach Technician will generate high priority BMPs needed in the Rum watershed. The SWCD will work with land managers, land owners and operators in Mille Lacs County to implement BMPs. Sustainable (biodiverse, small acreage) Farming: Outreach and support for BMPs consistent with small, biodiverse systems.

The City of Wahkon contributes stormwater directly to Mille Lacs Lake. The cities of Wahkon and Isle have little to no resources or staff to address stormwater management. Most stormwater from this community runs untreated directly to Mille Lacs Lake. Outside design and engineering services will be needed. SWCD staff will coordinate and fiscally administer the project.

Shoreland restoration (especially Lake Mille Lacs) but also including opportunities to address Rum River erosion and stabilization of big bends on the river. Activity Category Streambank or Shoreline Capital Improvement Project? No Protection Source of State Contribution SWCD State Cost-Share Estimated # of FTEs Total Requested Biennial State Contribution $13, Estimated Number of Practices 2 Estimated Leveraged Funds $3, Plan Type County Comprehensive Local Projects & Activities Budget $16, Action or Objective (from plan) Priority 1A3: Assist landowners with shoreland and riparian BMPs and provide cost-share assistance. Implementation of voluntary shoreland BMPS initiated by landowners who feel shoreline and/or bank erosion has reached a critical point. Vulnerable lakeshore and river banks that have been left bare of natural vegetation and are located near river bends or in areas of heavy wave action can deposit significant amounts of sediment/phosphrous to the watershed. Publicizing of these completed projects typically leads to additional landowner interest in shoreland stabilization/restoration. Report created on:3/15/17 Page 8 of 8
