DNR Watershed Priorities for the Zumbro River Watershed

Transcription

1 DNR Watershed Priorities for the Zumbro Watershed This document was prepared by efforts led by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Ecological and Water Resources (EWR). Region 3 staff from DNR divisions (Fisheries, Wildlife, Parks and Trails, and Ecological and Water Resources) were engaged in several meetings to develop watershed priorities for the Zumbro Watershed. The meetings focused on gathering input from staff based upon professional judgement from their combined experience and local knowledge from working within the watershed. The information gathered is presented in a series of tables organized by DNR divisions and reflects different priorities based on each division s individualistic mission. Information presented on the tables is organized by the 10-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) number and associated name, along with the appropriate 12-digit HUC subwatershed name(s). Priorities identified during this process varied from protection, restoration, regulatory (protection and/or restoration), and technical guidance and/or assistance) types of strategies and are presented in no particular order. While every attempt was made to provide information for the entire Zumbro Watershed at the 10- digit HUC scale, some subwatersheds' priorities at the HUC 12 scale were left blank. Blank cells should not be interpreted as not important, rather, they should be viewed as more information needs to be collected to determine specific priorities. Conversely, cells where strategies are identified should not be viewed as inclusive, rather, priority strategies identified represent the opinions of the Region 3 staff. The final table presents a summary of available information from the Watershed Health Assessment Framework ( This framework calculates a health score for a variety of watershed variables. Scores are presented at the 12-digit subwatershed scale, where data was available, and a watershed-wide mean health score was calculated for each watershed variable. Scores are color-coded based upon score range. wq-iw9-20p
