CLEAN WATER PARTNERSHIP DRAWS TO A CLOSE After almost three years of working with watershed residents to help clean up their local lakes, the Crystal Loon Mills Clean Water Partnership is drawing to a close.  The project, which began in May 2007 and focused on improving water quality and reducing nuisance algae blooms on Crystal Lake, will be finished this December.  Click here to read more.

Become a Citizen Lake Monitor! Now that the Clean Water Partnership is coming to a close, volunteers are needed to help continue to monitor water quality in Crystal, Loon, and Mills Lakes.  The MPCA’s Citizen Lake Monitoring Program (CLMP) requires only minimal volunteer time, yet provides essential information needed to maintain and improve Minnesota’s water resources.  Visit our water quality page for more info!

“High Quality water is more than the dream of the conservationists, more than a political slogan; high quality water, in the right quantity at the right place at the right time, is essential to health, recreation, and economic growth.”

- Richard Bangs and Christian Kallen, Rivergods, 1985
