The State of Minnesota’s transition from local water management planning at the County level to watershed-based planning is facilitated by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR). Lake Superior North was one of five pilot watershed-based planning efforts at the start of this program transition. Please refer to BWSR’s website for more information on this program, Clean Water Comprehensive Watershed Funding, and for information about other planning efforts statewide.
