various federal, state, and regional grants. Many project partners have <br />neither the resources nor inclination to dedicate staff to tend the logistics of <br />grant administration. As a contribution to project implementation, ACD often <br />assumes this role. <br />ACD Website — Much of ACD's website, AnokaSWCD.org is dedicated to <br />posting and reporting compliance matters. The site includes staff and <br />supervisor contact information; board meeting agendas, packets, and <br />minutes; fee schedules; the handbook; financial reports; the comprehensive <br />plan, annual plans; annual reports, and project information. <br />WMO Reporting — Water management entities are required to submit <br />annual reports of activities and finances to BWSR. ACD prepares annual <br />reports on behalf of three of the four WMOs for a fee. <br />Website Hosting — ACD designed and manages websites for the Upper <br />Rum, Lower Rum, and Sunrise River WMOs. Routine management <br />includes posting information on meetings and activities. <br />WCA Administration — ACD assists LGUs with administration of the WCA <br />to varying degrees. LGUs throughout Anoka County differ greatly in terms <br />of the staffing levels and expertise dedicated to implementing the WCA. As <br />such, some LGUs take greater advantage of ACD's assistance than others. <br />Buffer Law Implementation — ACD provides several services related to the <br />buffer law; 1) compliance reviews using remote sensing or site inspections, <br />2) consultation on buffer establishment, 3) development and authorization <br />of alternative practices, and 4) facilitation of project cost share and <br />implementation. Due to ACD staff efforts to work with all formerly non- <br />compliant property owners, Anoka County is now 99.9% compliant with the <br />buffer law. <br />PRODUCTS & EQUIPMENT <br />Tree Sales — ACD sells approximately 25,000 tree and shrub seedlings to <br />300 landowners annually. Seedlings are sold in bundles of 10 and 25, as <br />our focus remains habitat improvement, not individual landscaping trees. <br />The tree sale is an opportunity to provide one-on-one consultations with <br />landowners about habitat improvement. We also provide some native grass <br />and wildflower seed. <br />Rain Guardian Pretreatment Chamber — ACD staff designed and patented <br />the Rain Guardian pretreatment chamber for curb -cut rain gardens to <br />42 <br />
