The Lower Minnesota River Watershed District is undertaking a major amendment of its Watershed Management Plan in response to 1) requests from the District's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and 2) the updating of water governance documents by most of the municipalities within and adjacent to the District. The Plan amendment will focus on the Standards in Section 3 and the Implementation Program in Section 4 of the current Third Water Management Plan. The Plan amendment process will comply with Minnesota Rules 8410.0140 and Minnesota Statue 103B.231, subdivision 11.
The District released the draft Statement of Need and Reasonableness (SONAR) February 7, 2018. The SONAR explains the District's rationale for the changes made to the Plan through the Amendment Process. The most recent version of the SONAR (May 2018) can be found below.
The schedule for the Plan consists of TAC meetings and communications with the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), as follows. Completed meetings and communications have links to documents that describe the events.
