Lake Basin: Lake Superior
Project Title: Minimizing Residential Construction Impacts on Lake Superior Shoreline: A Citizen's Stormwater Initiative
Fall Grant Award: $8000
Project Summary:
Lake Superior's North Shore is experiencing intense development pressure as a sought-after locale for second homes, condominiums, and other developments. With these construction projects come stormwater runoff, erosion, and associated water quality problems. Although Minnesota has excellent stormwater regulations on the books, in reality government agencies do not have sufficient staff or funding to adequately monitor development sites and enforce existing regulations. This project will provide support and resources for grassroots citizen groups to become engaged in assessing stormwater runoff problems in their communities, create dialogue with regulatory and elected officials about stormwater regulations, and encourage effective stormwater management.
