The Level III Land Use Assessment was completed on the following minor watersheds: 25022, 25038, 25088, 25147, 26082, 26112, 27008, 27031, 27051, 28033, 28066, 28088, 29017, 29018, 29019, 29032, 29044, 30023, 30030, 30039, 30047, 30049, 30050, 30056, 30074, 31015, 31058, 32042, 32067, 32073, 33075, 33096.
The Level III Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) Methodology of Land Use Assessment component of the Minnesota River Assessment Project (MRAP) inventories non-point source as well as small-point sources of pollution within the 37 select minor watersheds in the Minnesota River Basin. Potential small-point pollution sources include: dumps, wells, septic systems, tile intakes and outlets, feedlots, unique areas (such as auto body shops and golf courses), and gravel pits. The process involves an interview of the landowner as well as a field survey of pertinent watershed areas to provide accurate and sensitive information about the minor watersheds. Development of the methodology is intended to give a comprehensive view of the minor watershed, with adaptability to enable a variety of small watershed assessments. Using SWCD methodology, assessments of the 32 minor watersheds occur during the 1990-91 biennium. A best management practices (BMP) implementation plan is developed for each of the minor watersheds using the methodology and various parameters.
