10-Year Plan

The purpose of the 10-year watershed management plan is to guide how the District will manage activities in the watershed between 2018 and 2028. The plan also meets Minnesota Statutes 103B and 103D, and Minnesota Rules 8410 requirements, which govern our actions. Learn more about requirements for Metro Watershed Management Plans on the BWSR website.

The 10-year plan presents a summary of the District's  goals, strategies, and activities necessary to accomplish the District’s mission during the life of the Plan. The plan also describes the District’s resource management framework and funding approach for projects and programs. The Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District protects, manages, and restores water resources within its boundary. The District views all the following elements as essential for achieving its mission:

  • Effective administration and judicious use of public resources
  • Data collection and analysis to ensure decisions are based on sound science
  • Planning to achieve District goals in a strategic and equitable manner
  • Education and outreach to promote watershed stewardship
  • Regulation to protect District natural resources from degradation
  • Projects and programs addressing both surface water and groundwater quality and quantity, and related habitat
