Western Lake Superior Basin Erosion - Sedimentation Control Program Wisconsin and Minnesota / First Annual Report

Abstract

While the purpose of an annual Project report is to evaluate the accomplishments of the past year in relation to a base­ line, this report, because of time frame will address the Project more in terms of a narrative. At the time of the writing of this report, the Work Plan has not received full approval of the USEPA. The Work Plan was completed on schedule in April of this yearo However, after review by the many agencies involved, substantial reworking of the Work Plan was indicated. This and the need for start-up of certain supplemental activities had been the reason for delay of the preparation of the final draft of the Work Plano It is anticipated that the Work Plan will be submitted for approval within the next few weeks a Conceptually the Work Plan has not changed. However, several study areas were changed and water quality monitoring increased to over-come technical objections. We believe that most if not all questions have been addressed and that we have a sound Work Plan.
