equipped to complete a variety of inventory projects, having many years of aerial <br />photos, GPS equipment, GIS software and the expertise to use them. We engage in <br />some routine inventories and updates while also tackling periodic `once in a career' <br />efforts like the geologic atlas. <br />Geologic Atlas — ACD staff facilitated the collection of sufficient local matching funds <br />from each of the water management organizations and watershed districts in the county <br />to partner with the MN Geologic Survey to have a geologic atlas completed for Anoka <br />County. ACD hired and oversaw seasonal staff who identified the location of 10,000 <br />wells in the county. These data were provided to the MN Geologic Survey. The geologic <br />element was completed and made available in 2013. The hydrogeologic component is <br />underway and is anticipated in 2015 or 2016. Upon completion, ACD will actively train <br />local resource management partners on its features and how to use it for decision <br />making. <br />Shoreline — ACD conducts shoreline inventories on priority water bodies in partnership <br />with water management organizations, watershed districts and lake associations. <br />During the inventory process the condition of the shoreline is documented to identify <br />erosion and adjacent land management practices. In recent years we have added an <br />erosion estimation element to facilitate project identification and ranking for promotion <br />efforts. Sites with the greatest estimated erosion are prioritized for outreach and <br />funding. Figure 16 is of Lake George. Similar inventories have been completed for the <br />majority of recreational lakes in the county. <br />Lake George Shoreline <br />Shoreline Type <br />retanngall <br />277m <br />- Roads <br />Streams/Ditches <br />El Public Boat Landing <br />Public Beach <br />Floating/Emergent Vegetation <br />Shoreline Type <br />mowed <br />retaining wall <br />rock <br />,$ sand beach <br />unmowed <br />wwww wetland <br />0.1 0.2 <br />N <br />Lake George <br />0.4 <br />Figure 16: Lakeshore Erosion Inventory Example <br />0.6 Ales <br />fJ <br />I <br />created by <br />.
