analyses and a final report on the program will be completed. In addition to <br />identifying opportunities to reduce groundwater usage, measures to <br />increase stormwater infiltration were also noted. All opportunities were <br />ranked by cost-effectiveness. ACD staff led this effort with funding from a <br />BWSR Clean Water Fund (CWF) grant through the MCD. <br />Mississippi River Direct Drainage SRA — There are several small <br />catchments along the Mississippi River that discharge stormwater directly <br />into the river without treatment. ACD staff will work with interested WDs and <br />WMOs to complete SRAs for these areas. <br />Linwood Lake Carp Management Feasibility Study — A <br />feasibility study started in 2019 will be completed in 2020, <br />which determined that carp management on Linwood Lake <br />is a viable method to improve water quality. <br />Mississippi River Erosion Analysis — A photo inventory of the Mississippi <br />River below the Coon Rapids Dam was completed in 2018. An analysis of <br />erosion severity will be completed in 2020 to identify eroding sites, <br />determine severity, quantify sediment loading to the river, estimate the cost <br />of repair, and rank based on cost -benefit. <br />PLANNING <br />Collaborations and Planning — ACD staff participate in several multi -entity <br />collaborations to facilitate natural resources management efforts at the <br />scale that is optimum for success for a particular resource. This ranges from <br />multi -county conservation network collaborations to statewide policy <br />committees. <br />1W1P Rum River — The counties and SWCDs throughout <br />the Rum River watershed have secured funding from <br />BWSR to complete a 1W1P. While ACD's participation is <br />not mandatory, ACD staff is ready to assist in any way possible. <br />1W1P Lower St. Croix — A partnership of water <br />management entities in the Lower St. Croix watershed has <br />secured funding from BWSR to complete a 1 W1 P. ACD <br />staff is assisting with this effort. <br />ACD Comprehensive Plan —ACD's comprehensive plan for <br />2020-2029 is due in 2020.
