Upper Mississippi - Grand Rapids, One Watershed One Plan
In 2022, the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) awarded a One Watershed, One Plan (1W1P) planning grant to the Upper Mississippi River - Grand Rapids watershed. This will allow for a collaborative plan to look at the watershed, identify areas that might need water quality protection or improvements, and plan projects to make sure the water in this watershed is healthy for all of the important uses we rely on.
The planning partners for this comprehensive watershed management plan include Aitkin County, Aitkin SWCD, Carlton County, Carlton SWCD, Cass SWCD, Itasca County, Itasca SWCD, Salo Township, and the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.
