2021 Gully Inventory and Condition Assessment

Estimated Timeline: Spring 2021-2022 Estimated Cost: $74,900

Using the Minnesota River as a focal point, this project examines issues facing the river’s complex natural system, which is a shared resource and a place where varied interests and other systems converge. The report will examine pressures on the river from inside the watershed and expand to consider areas upland of the watershed. Fieldwork will be conducted to inventory gullies in the watershed and to prioritize the gullies by their potential for loading sediment into the Minnesota River. The outcome will determine the primary areas of flow and sediment contribution into the Minnesota River between the City of Carver and the confluence with the Mississippi River, as well as formulating potential management strategies moving forward.  Whereas the 2020 report inventoried and focused on Carver and Hennepin Counties, this report looks at Dakota and Scott Counties.
