On Saturday, March 15th the District will co-host a program on Aquatic Invasive Species with neighboring watershed district Comfort Lake-Forest Lake.  The Lake Doctor, Steve McComas, will talk about what we can all do to slow the spread of AIS and manage the ones that are already present in our lakes and streams.  Last year Steve was unable to attend the program but was well represented by his son who is a partner in the business,  

Hamlin Professor Leif Hembre presented his first year's summary report and data to the Watershed District Board at its meeting on February 19th.  Many Square Lake residents were also attending to hear about the clarity of the lake during the 2013 season and the conditions for an anticipated increase in daphnia population now that a trout stocking moritorium has been in place for over a year.  The report and data can be found under the "reports" button above.

The Watershed District approved revisions to the Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) submitted by Marine on St. Croix at its last meeting.  The revisions were required under Mn. State Statute 103(b) after the Watershed District completed its new Plan in 2010.  The Marine Plan adopts all aspects of the CMSCWD Watershed Management Plan by reference and also paves the way for the creation of an alternative method of District permitting in certain areas of Marine.

The Board regular meetings are held on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month in the Heritage Room of the Scandia Community Center, 14727 209^th St. N., Scandia.  The next regular meeting is March 12, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. (The February 26th meeting has been canceled.)
