Water Quality Efforts in the Pomme de Terre Watershed

Stevens SWCD now houses a Pomme de Terre River Watershed Project Coordinator who serves citizens within the Pomme de Terre Watershed in Stevens, Douglas, Grant, Otter Tail, Swift and Big Stone counties and will be working with landowners to develop best management practices and projects that will work to decrease fecal coliform entering the river and also decrease erosion on the banks of the river, which causes turbidity.

The Pomme de Terre River Association's Joint Powers Board (JPB) is made up of county commissioners and SWCD supervisors from each of the six counties in the watershed. The Watershed Project Coordinator will be working with the JPB, the MPCA, and with citizen groups, to develop and implement a plan for restoring the turbidity and fecal coliform levels to within the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) established.

Please visit www.pdtriver.org to learn more about the Pomme de Terre River watershed and the work that is being done to restore it and protect it from further damage.

Anyone interested in becoming a part of the stakeholder group should contact the Stevens SWCD at 320-589-4886 ext. 3.
